Seyran Ohanyan calls for patience
"We didn't raise our sons, send them to the army and see the return of their dead bodies," said the parents of soldiers killed in peace in the Armenian army.
Every Thursday, the parents of soldiers killed in peace in the army gather in front of the government building with the demand for fair punishment for the officers who have led thier sons to death and madness, as well as the reformulation of the "murder" article in the criminal cases that have been instigated.
The parents and representatives of civil society today held signs reading "Undeclared War against Armenian Soldiers", "Army without Murderers", "Stop the War Declared against Our Sons" and "Homeland: Defend your Defenders" in front of the government building.
Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan approached the parents of the deceased soldiers after the government session and informed them that there had not been any case of a soldier killed in the army that had remained unrevealed.
"We have to be patient and let the police finish their job," said RA Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan.
The murder of Tigran Hambardzumyan, who was killed at the military unit in Karmrakar (Kapan) on June 28, has been viewed as suicide based on the examples of many.
"My purpose is to prove that that was murder, not suicide," said Tigran Hambardzumyan's father, Benik Hambardzumyan.
He is surprised to see that nobody has been arrested to this day, and that all the soldiers have written the same testimonies.
In addition to the parents of deceased soldiers,the residents and stand owners of the sale zone were also standing near the government building today with their issues. Mayor of Yerevan Karen Karapetyan continues to demolish the stands located on major streets in Yerevan.
"Those stands helped us make a living. If he doesn't like them, we can change the look, but not stay unemployed," say stand owners, but their protest remained unanswered.
