Disabled freedom fighter holds protest outside ministry
Karabakh war participant Hakob Tadevosyan will spend the night outside the Defense Ministry with his wife and four minor children.
The disabled freedom fighter, who feeds the family with his small pension, can no longer afford to pay the apartment rent.
In 2006, Tadevosyan applied to the Ministry to receive a flat and has been registered in the ministry ever since.
"Every time they show me the door, saying I must wait for my turn. The ministry representatives say they have no time to "play games with me." But I do not know where to go and whom to apply," said the father of four underage children.
The eldest child in the family is seven years old.
"I feel like a vagabond. Is this the life a freedom fighter deserves? Do they honour us in this way? I have two sons who will serve in our army tomorrow. But look how they treat a former serviceman! " said the desperate freedom fighter.
Tadevosyan says he will not leave the ministry unless they provide him with, at least, a temporary shelter.
