Armenia’s Prosecutor General Artur Davtyan did not receive the families of the soldiers who died in the 44-day Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) war in the fall of 2020, arguing that they still have no new information, and discussions are underway to transfer the case.

Earlier, Armenian News-NEWS.am reported that a group of relatives of the aforesaid are holding a protest in front of the building of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Armenia.

Their demand is that the criminal case filed with the Investigative Committee—and under the Criminal Code article on "abuse of official power, which has caused serious consequences"—be transferred to the National Security Service.

On June 30, a group of relatives of the aforesaid fallen servicemen had met with Prosecutor General Artur Davtyan and presented their demand.

Also, they demand that this criminal case be investigated under the Criminal Code article on "apparent high treason," and that PM Nikol Pashinyan be summoned for questioning under this article and be included in this case as a defendant.
