ArmInfo. Artur Melikyan, deputy head of the Investigative Committee of Armenia, claims that former head of the National Security Service Georgi Kutoyan committed suicide.
In an interview with reporters, Melikyan stated that a criminal case was initiated in the IC under the article of driving to suicide.
"The Investigative Committee did not claim that Kutoyan was driven to suicide, but we opened a criminal case under this article. At the moment, the preliminary investigation is ongoing, but we have no suspects in this case. Suicide has been proven. This is evidenced not only by the results of the investigative actions, but also by the results of the examination," Melikyan noted.
