On December 28, 2013 HCA Vanadzor sent an application to the RA SIS with a demand to be provided with the copies of the decision to close the criminal case filed over the death of Hayk Movsisyan and the materials of the closed case.
The Application reads that H. Movsisyan’s mother Heghine Petrosyan and her representatives Artur Sakunts, Arayik Zalyan have repeatedly sent applications and motions to various instances of the RA Justice with a request to recognize H. Petrosyan as the victim’s legal successor, but they received refusals.
The application particularly reads that in the phase of filing a criminal case the trial conducting body should recognize one of the close relatives of a diseased person or the victim having lost the ability to express his/her will as the victim’s legal successor if the latter expressed such willingness.
On December 27, 2013, as mentioned before, a response reply to the last motion was received from the RA SIS, whereby, it was informed that the criminal case filed over Haayk Kaleyan’s death case was closed.
It was also noted in the application that “…the reasons mentioned in the judicial act provide grounds to infer that Hayk Kaleyan was a victim over #62202513 criminal case, whereas, the refusals of the applications submitted by H. Petrosyan and her representatives were arbitrary and illegal”.
Based on the RA Criminal Procedure Code and taking as grounds the circumstance that ensuring the protection of the rights and legal interests of the victim is one of the crucial issues of the Criminal Procedure Code, the claimants came up with a demand to be provided with the copies of the decision of closing the criminal case reached on December 10, 2013 and those of the materials of the closed criminal case.
