The Special Investigation Service of the Republic of Armenia informed that within the framework of the criminal case being investigated by the Special Investigation Service of the Republic of Armenia regarding the events that took place between March 1-2, 2008 in the city of Yerevan, the deputy commander of the RA police forces was arrested and detained as of March 1, 2008, on the suspicion of committing the crime provided for in Article 104, Part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia, of intentionally taking the life of Zakar Hovhannisyan with the use of a firearm. Gegham Petrosyan, who held the position of chief of staff. As a result, after four years of investigation, however, the law enforcement officers decided to close the case. The prosecutor's office found Gegham Petrosyan, the accused in the March 1 case, the former head of the police headquarters, innocent. He was the only one who was charged with murder for killing Zakar Hovhanisyan during the demonstrations. The point is that a specific police officer had testified against him, and the relatives, applying to the anti-corruption committee, demanded that the employee be held accountable, but the committee has not made the application of the relatives the subject of investigation, and at least it has not taken action against the person who testified against Gegham Petrosyan for perjury."
