What did Khachatryan do to be awarded with medal?
Hakob Hakobyan, a member of Arabo NGO, does not think that the lives of freedom fighters will be changed following the meeting with the prime minister last week.
During the meeting with Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, the Karabakh war veterans presented their demands and concerns, calling for better social conditions for themselves and their comrades, in particular, they demand increase in pensions, free access to public transport and partial refund for utilities. Three days ago, the freedom fighters sent a letter to the prime minister, in which they again presented their demands.
"It is difficult for me to predict the outcome. Let us wait and see the results," Hakob Hakobyan told journalists on June 10.
He is surprised to see people, who have no connection with the Karbakh war, awarded with medals and orders while the freedom fighters who fully devoted themselves to the Karabakh liberation war are ignored by the authorities.
"I do not know [former governor of Syunik province] Surik Khachatryan. I have never seen him in the battlefield. Why was Khachatryan awarded the Order of the Combat Cross of the Second Degree?" said Hakobyan.
