Parents of perished soldiers protest outside RA Government
The parents of Armenian soldiers perished in different military units during peaceful times staged a protest action outside the Armenian government on September 24. However, the executive body paid no attention to the protesters. Only ARF-Dashnaktsutyun representative Ara Nranyan approached the group to hear their complaint.
The mothers demanded that the murders of their sons [well known to the authorities and society] be arrested.
In reply, Mr. Nranyan said the issue was beyond their competence and they possessed no levers to settle it. He regretted that the government did not pay due attention to the protesters.
The relatives of pilots killed in an airplane crash in Iran in 2001 were also near the government demanding to compensate the relatives of disabled pilots and crew.
The protesters stated that in August they were asked to stop their actions connected with Russian President's visit to Armenia. The government promised to address the issue after Medvedev's departure, but it has done nothing to this day.
