However, about 10 minutes later a military commissariat staffer informed Harutyun&#39;s father on the phone that the young man &ldquo;had been wounded and was being transferred to Yerevan.&rdquo;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">The soldier&#39;s relatives told HCAV representatives that on the day of the incident, allegedly, there were talks in the military unit that the cause of&nbsp;death was unclear. While the next day the Third garrison investigative unit of General Military Investigative Department of RA Investigative Committee initiated a criminal case [pursuant to the Part 1 of the Article 110 of RA Criminal Code, incitement to suicide]. However, the relatives said they did not believe the suicide theory.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">According to Hrayr Hambaryan, the autopsy was also attended by Harutyun&#39;s family and friends. &ldquo;The gunshot injury was in the top central part of Harutyun&#39;s head,&rdquo; the soldier&#39;s sister, Hasmik Hambaryan, said. Harutyun was suffering from shortsightedness and wore glasses; the soldier&#39;s body was found lying prone on the ground, and his glasses were shattered into tiny pieces.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">Harutyun had always been happy with his service and duty station, since the military base where he served was quite away from the front-line, Hasmik Hambaryan said. According to her, the soldier had also said that it was relatively easy to serve in the Air Defense Forces. Harutyun had a phone conversation with his sister one day before the incident, and, according to Hasmik, was in high spirits: &ldquo;When he learned that our parents were busy with spring sowing, he said &#39;Not long now; tell them I&#39;ll do the next one when I&#39;m back&#39;&rdquo;.<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The surname displayed on the ticker, as stated by the father, was misspelled \u2013 instead of Hambaryan there was written Ghambaryan \u2013 which somewhat relieved the relatives.
