    9,500 DRAMS TO VISIT THE CEMETERY

    Parents of soldiers who died in Armenian military units in peace
    organized today another protest near the government building.

    In addition to presenting the circumstances of their sons' murders,
    they also told "A1+" about their extremely difficult social conditions.

    "My wife and I are disabled. We don't have jobs and we have even eaten
    soil for the past three years because we have no alternative," said
    Suren Ohanjanyan, father of Tigran Ohanjanyan who was electrocuted
    according to an official version.

    The parents of other soldiers said that they spend their small pension
    to, as they say, reveal their sons' murders.

    The Ministry of Defense pays them 9,500 drams a month as assistance,
    but the parents consider that ridiculous.

    "I asked them if they were paying that money to help the mother of a
    dead soldier live and they said, "no, that's just money for you to
    go and visit your son's tomb," said Tigran Ohanjanyan's mother as
    she transmitted the Defense Ministry representative's answer.
