The family of the Armenian soldier, who died recently of an acute
blood disease, have accused the minister of defense of misrepresenting
facts concerning earlier promises to save their son.
In a statement, the parents of Arthur Kocharyan claim that Minister
Seyran Ohanyan distorted facts at a Wednesday news conference when he
said they did everything possible to assist in the soldier's treatment.
"It is unacceptable for us that the agency, corrupt from top to
bottom, has embarked on a processes of washing the society's brains,
together with its worthy chief, Seyran Ohanyan. They might have used
such a big enthusiasm for saving our son's life. We also call upon
President Serzh Sargsyan to make necessary conclusions from the,"
say Koocharyan's parents.
Kocharyan, who died in a Moscow hospital last Monday, was diagnosed
with the deadly disease ten months after enlistment. The disease was
claimed to have been detected with a month's delay. The Ministry of
Defense had initially promised the to cover all the medical cost,
but after learning that the cheapest treatment - $67,000 - was
available in a Moscow clinic, they asked the family to find other
funding sources, saying that they can provide no more than $7,500,
the No Silence Group said in a statement last month.
The soldier's parents have promised to hold a press conference in
Yerevan next week to raise the society's awareness of what they claim
to be the true story.
