In some sense, the situation is the same as with the case of Arman Yengibaryan, who was shot to death by a policeman on June 14, 2011 at “Garegin Nzhdeh” station.

The SIS closed the case, not finding any wrongdoing in the officer’s actions and considering “neutralizing” with two fatal shots unavoidable. Edmon Marukyan, Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly Vanadzor, is representing the interests of Sergey Yengibaryan, Arman’s father (as victim’s successor), and has tried in vain, to get involved in the case in that capacity.
 
Arman Yengibaryan was chased and killed by the police, explained E. Marukyan. A case was initiated by  the Special Investigation Service under Article 107 of the Criminal Code, and the relatives of Arman Yengibaryan and I, as his father’s representative, were not allowed to participate in the investigation in any way.

Later all my complaints and notes requesting participation were rejected nor did I receive the decision of the investigator to reject the initiation of the case, which I only learned about from his interview. not possessing that decision, I later appealed to the Prosecutor General, and the supervising prosecutor made a decision to reject, and along with that  rejection he sent me the decision they  wouldn’t provide earlier (SIS did not recognize A. Yengibaryan as a victim and not giving a legal status to his successor, has stated in   response that there is no reason to provide a copy of the decision to close the proceedings. E. M.) As stated by law, I have appealed to the Court of General Jurisdiction of the Kentron and Nork-Marash Administrative
Districts arguing that the investigation of Arman Yengibaryan’s murder was not complete nor comprehensive and under the 2nd Article of the European Convention, Arman Yengibaryan’s murder was absolutely not necessary.

Consequently, a violation of Article 2 of the Convention (what convention?) occurred, as well as a violation of the “right to life” ensured according to our Constitution.’
