Isn’t that soldier part of Armenia too?
Statement by "Right of Speech" Union
"This morning, the "We Won't Keep Silent" youth initiative released a video showing the main character, former 20-year old soldier Hovhannes in a mad state at the psychiatric hospital in Nork. Hovhannes went crazy in the army.
The soldier had been serving in Askeran for fourteen months. The video shocked people on social networks and the society. "Right of Speech" condemns such pathetic manifestations of indifference and humiliation.
The slogan "You are Armenia" on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Armenia's independence assumes that citizens should serve their country and that the government should make sure citizens feel like safe, full-fledged citizens. Each of us should feel full-fledged and shouldn't be ignored, and all social institutes should help the government, especially the army. That model is totally distorted in Armenia. Based on this, "Right of Speech" union calls on all people who care to support the relatives of the soldier at the psychiatric hospital in Nork."
