In response to HCA Vanadzor’s inquiry on the investigative actions taken in 2016 to establish the death circumstances of the ten victims of March 1, 2008, the suspects and accused involved in the initiated criminal proceedings and the charges brought against them, the RA Special Investigation Service again stated that the preliminary investigation was in progress but due to the secrecy of preliminary investigation they could disclose no information on the actions taken.
Note that the RA Special Investigation Service open to public support in establishing the death circumstances of the victims, for years provides the same response to HCA Vanadzor’s inquiries on the March 1 case: “All the action under the RA Criminal Procedure Code are taken under the criminal case to ensure a comprehensive, thorough and objective investigation of the case circumstances and detect all the acts of crime committed during the mass riots, including to establish the death circumstances of 10 people.”
And as for HCA Vanadzor’s letter on questioning V. Gasparyan based on his well-known interviews, it was merely attached to the criminal case to be considered later ‘if necessary’.
Currently, it is still unclear when the investigating body will find it necessary to consider the letter.
