The parents of the soldiers killed in the army have joined the
Armenian National Congress, Chairman of Board of Armenian Pan-National
Movement Aram Manukyan said at the ANC rally in Yerevan.
"The parents of the soldiers recently killed in the army consider the
change of power in Armenia to be the only way to resolve their
problems. We have already created a new action group in Facebook.
Such groups help to solve problems related to the army," Manukyan
said.
He said that the relatives of the killed servicemen expressed wish to
take part in the rally but a few hours before the event they were
summoned by relevant authorities and "convinced" not to do it.
To note, the cases of death of conscript soldiers have recently become
more frequent in the Armed Forces of Armenia and the NKR. On August 26
Aghasi Abrahamyan Abrahamyan, a conscript soldier of the NKR Defense
Army became a victim of violence in the army. He died at a military
hospital in Stepanakert after being severely beaten. A soldier of the
Askeran regiment of the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army, Hayk Lazarian,
who was killed on Wednesday, was shot down by his comrade-in-arms
Lendrush Nazlukhanyan while on duty as a result of careless use of
fire arms.
A video posted on Youtube by the initiative group "We will not keep
silence!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kltNRmTe2TI tells that the
comrade of Hovhannes Vardanyan informed the family of the soldier that
their son was taken to psychiatric hospital. 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 the
army, and has got him back from Karabakh in such a 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.
