Today, on July 7, 2011, the subsequent trial of the claim submitted by Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly-Vanadzor against the resolution taken by the RA Police Dilijan Department interrogator S. Saghatelyan was due to be held at Tavoush Region Court of General Jurisdiction.
However, as representative of the plaintiff party Artur Sakunts was notified in the court, interrogator Saghatelyan had “confused” the dates by thinking that the court trial was appointed on July 8, that is to say tomorrow. Whether the interrogator had indeed “thought” so or not, is still unknown. But it is a well known fact that in such cases, time works to the benefit of the responding party.
It should be noted that Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly-Vanadzor claims to abrogate the resolution made by RA Police Dilijan Department interrogator S. Saghatelyan over rejecting to file a criminal case and send the case to preliminary investigation.
The case concerns the resolution, by which the interrogator refused to file a criminal case against the Spitak police officials, who, according the plaintiff party, have exerted violence against Gyumri residents Razmik Tonoyan and Armen Melkonyan that were charged with robbery. www.lragir.am presented the case details on June 1, 2011. However, the court trial was put off until Saturday, July 9, 2011.
We instill hope that this time interrogator Saghatelyan will not let down the court and stakeholder media representatives over this case, who had previously arrived in Ijevan from different parts of Tavoush region to participate in this court session.
