YEREVAN, August 3 (Noyan Tapan). On August 3, the participants of the
Artsakh liberation movement went on a termless sit-strike in
Yerablur. They, in particular, demand to carry out allocations from
the state budget for the purpose of providing them with apartments.
Armen Avetisian, the Chairman of the Armenian Aryan Unity, told Noyan
Tapan that the Commission compiled by the RA Ministry of Defence
submitted a special list, in which it's mentioned that the families of
the perished freedom-fighters and the disabled freedom-fighters should
be provided with apartments. But, according to him, the government of
Armenia doesn't carry out any allocations for this purpose. The
participants of the sit-strike demand that the government of Armenia
and the NA should adopt a law on conferment of the status of a
freedom-fighter to the volunteers who were at war in advanced
detachments for 6 months and more, as well as should restore the
privileges and rights of all the freedom-fighters by the law. One of
the demands is equating of the pension of the disabled freedom-fighters
of the 3rd group with the pension of a warrant officer. Armen
Avetisian also said that the government and parliament were informed
about the sit-strike and the strike will stop only after the
government and the freedom-fighters come to an agreement.
