Conversations on Groong - May 10, 2026This Conversations on Groong episode examines the Vedi abuse case, a disturbing story involving alleged sexual abuse of vulnerable minors and serious questions about Armenia's law-enforcement response. Attorney Tatevik Soghoyan joins the program to discuss the known timeline, the delays between the first reports and arrests, the treatment of the victims, and the public statements by investigators and government officials. The discussion focuses on whether this was a local failure, a systemic breakdown, or a deeper case of political responsibility, while asking what Armenia's justice and child-protection systems must do to prevent such cases from being ignored, delayed, or mishandled.Topics:Vedi abuse case timelineLaw-enforcement delays and failuresVictim protection and privacyPolitical responsibility and accountabilityChild-protection system breakdownGuest:Tatevik SoghoyanHosts:Hovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 542 | Recorded: May 9, 2026SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/542VIDEO: https://youtu.be/jP9QJuMwDNo#VediCase #ChildProtection #JusticeForChildren #RuleOfLaw #Accountability #Armenia #HumanRights #VictimsRightsSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong
