The deceased soldier talked to his mother only a few hours prior his death.
A few hours prior his death soldier Arthur Margaryan called home. This is what one of Arthur’s relatives said in an interview with Gala.

“He called and wanted to talk to his mother”,- said Arthur’s uncle.

To our questions what exactly did Arthur say he said, he wanted to know whether they had noticed anything unusual about his behavior, whether he complained or not, our interviewee said he did not know any details.

It was just a regular call, just like any soldier who calls home to know how is everything going. It was exactly two hours before that…I don’t know about the rest.”-he said.

According to the official hypothesis, the soldier died after shooting himself to the chest.

Peace Dialogue NGO’s expert Ruben Martirosyan thinks this is theoretically possible:
“Theoretically, this is possible; he could have shot himself to the chest. However, in fact I have not come across any suicide case in the last few years: the preliminary investigative body presents all the murder cases as suicides, afterwards the court, which is in fact its attaché, presents the cases as suicide the same way. As a result the death of innocent soldiers are classified as suicides, while the murderers walk around free in Armenia.”- says the expert. According to him, only the objective examination during the post mortem and following it will reveal what really happened.
