Norayr Norikyan, the lawyer representing relatives of the fifteen soldiers who died in a January 19 military barracks fire, today said he will seek a second forensic examination given that the first raised more questions than answers.

Results of the first forensic examination, published two weeks ago, claimed that eight of the soldiers died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

“"It is necessary to clarify what kind of gas we are talking about. How did that gas penetrate the soldiers' bedroom? How can we explain why the surviving servicemen were not poisoned by carbon monoxide gas if they were in that area?" Norikyan asked at a press conference with relatives of the victims.

The lawyer said the Ministry of Defense hasn’t responded to an inquiry he sent on the matter.

Relatives of soldiers who died in the fire told reporters that they demand a transparent and comprehensive investigation of the issue.
