Father and uncle of the soldier of the NKR Defense Army Hovhanness
Vardanyan, who has proved in the psychiatric hospital, are ready to
take posters and rally in the Republic Square to get justice.
The video posted on Youtube by the initiative group "We will not keep
silent!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kltNRmTe2TI tells that the
comrade of Hovhaness Vardanyan informed the family of the soldier that
their son was taken to psychiatric hospital 9 days ago. Vardanyan's
father tells that his son underwent medical examination twice and was
drafted by the Ararat Territorial Military Commission. He was healthy
and went for sports. He served normally a year and 2 months before
he had a quarrel with an officer. Hovhaness's father was informed of
the incident with a delay of 17 days.
The territorial military commission called the incident a
misunderstanding. Vardanyan's father phoned the commander of his son
to get more information on the incident. The commander explained
nothing. The Defense Ministry has not responded to the statements
of the soldier's relatives since August 3. Vardanyan's father tells
that when he visited the son in the hospital, he was given certain
documents saying that his son was excused from duty. The documents
tell nothing about the incident in the army. He was told that his
son got a fright and a shock. Vardanyan's father declares that his
son was beaten up in the army and there are still signs of violence
on his legs and back. "I sent a healthy boy to army, and has got him
back from Karabakh in such state," the father cried out.
The soldier in the video just repeats separate phrases going to and
fro, rolling on the ground and saying that he served well in Karabakh
but he was beaten up and raped. The uncle of the soldier Aram Virabyan
expressed indignation at the negligence of the higher instances to
the incident. "This negligence makes us leave for Karabakh and settle
accounts with the offenders. We are ready to rally in the square with
posters," he said.
