The right to declassify strictly confidential 0038 order fully  belongs to Armenian Defense Ministry, SIS head says 

ArmInfo.The right to declassify strictly confidential order ь0038, signed by the former Defense  Minister Mikael Harutyunyan, belongs only to the Armenian Defense Ministry, Head of Special Investigation Service of Armenia Sasun Khachatryan told ArmInfo on August 9, referring to the statement by the lawyers of the second president Robert Kocharyan that the investigative body must declassify the secret order in full, not in part, as it was done.  

Khachatryan urged the defense team not to speculate with accusations  against the investigative body that the SIS allegedly does not want  to publish the order fully. "This is not our desire," he said.  

According to Khachatryan, the problem with the so-called publication  of the order by fragments is overblown. The CIS head reminded that  earlier he had published almost all important points of this order on  the air. "I do not understand what they mean by speaking of the  publication of the document in fragments," he stressed. It is  noteworthy that as a result of the publication of No.  0038 order,  the scope of people affected in the March 1, 2008 events has  expanded. Considering the fact that such an important document as  Order No. 0038 was strictly confidential and within the recent 10,5  years the preliminary investigation body did not try to find it and  attach it to the case to investigate the circumstances of its  involvement, you can imagine that we have suspicions that there are  other documents and evidences on which major investigative measures  are being carried out, of course, new victims will also be touched  upon," Khachatryan said.  

In this regard, Khachatryan pointed out to the following trend:  people who were fearful of criminal responsibility in due time and  did not even report their injuries, turn to the investigative body  and get the procedural status of the victim, report all the  information they have. As it was reported earlier, in an interview  with the mass media, Khachatryan said: "What is this order? According  to official information, it was not included in the criminal case,  the order was confiscated by us and included in it in July 2018. This  order is a strong evidence of the charge. It testifies that the army  was involved in the March 1 events."
