The Investigative Committee of Armenia's Gegharkunik region has initiated a criminal case based on Article 130, Part 2 of the Armenian Criminal Code, as per the decision of investigator Harutyun Mkrtchyan.

According to shamshyan.com, the case was opened following the suspicious death of 26-year-old Hasmik Harutyunyan, a resident of the Hazarat neighborhood in Gavar, who died on March 29 at the local hospital.

In an interview with a photojournalist, Hasmik's relatives expressed their grief, stating, "We are heartbroken. She was a mother of two children, aged 5 and 9 months, and had no prior health issues. She went to the Gavar hospital on foot for the purpose of terminating her latest pregnancy. A nurse from Noratus village in Gegharkunik performed an injection, claiming it was a pain reliever. Just 5 minutes after the injection, Hasmik reported feeling unwell. Within 10 minutes, she tragically passed away. There is complete chaos and disarray at the Gavar hospital. We've heard of many similar incidents where those responsible have not faced consequences."
