atmosphere of impunity

40

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 6, NOYAN TAPAN. At the RA NA February 4 sitting
parliament Speaker Hovik Abrahamian presented his condolences to the
relatives of Deputy Head of RA Police, Colonel Gevorg Mherian killed
the day before. He said that the law enforcement bodies are obliged to
immediately undertake all necessary measures to disclose the crime and
to find the criminals.

Though it was a day of question and answer with the government in NA,
none of the deputies raised the issue regarding Deputy Police Head’s
murder and demanded commentaries from the government.

Zharangutiun (Heritage) faction member, former RA Ombudsperson Larisa
Alaverdian said in her interview to Noyan Tapan correspondent that the
atmosphere of impunity in the country results not only in violation of
people’s ownership rights, which the faction has repeatedly stated, but
also in graver crimes, among which is Deputy Police Head’s murder.

It should be mentioned that 34-year-old G. Mherian was killed in the
evening of February 3 near his apartment’s entrance from fire-arms
injuries in his head.
