When conscript Razmik Sargsyan charged for Mataghis case lost
consciousness in the courtroom because he had been on a hunger strike
for a long time, and his lawyer asked to call an ambulance, the council
for the prosecution Anahit Yeghiazaryan rejected the lawyer's motion
and insisted on continuing the court hearing.
Something similar may be witnessed tomorrow in Kapan where the first
court hearing of conscript Suren Kirakosyan will be held who has also
been on hunger strike since April 5. Only the military prosecutor's
office knows how the conscript will come to the court, having eaten
nothing for 26 days.
The conscript is accused for deserting the military unit. When he
was detained, he said that he did not want to desert the military
unit, he just wants to go to a doctor since he could not continue
his military service with his current state of health.
Suren was called up with health problems. His health got worse during
the service, now he needs surgery the result of which will depend on
whether the tumor is malicious or benign.
The young man is also suffering from other conditions but he has
received no treatment during the past year of his military service.
The only information the soldier's mother has is that his son's health
is bad. She learned it from MP Zaruhi Postanjyan who visited him the
military hospital in Goris.
We deal with usual indifference towards the health and life of private
soldiers. Several soldiers already died this year due to negligence.
Prosecutor Tigran Sargsyan told us that the soldier must be held
responsible despite his diseases. Suren Kirakosyan's relatives have
not been informed about the court hearing.
His mother requested a meeting with the defense minister but the
minister refused. There is a lot to do on these campaign days, the
cases of death in the army continue but the defense ministry does
not care. For them it is statistics, and one more or less seems an
insignificant difference.
"They are killing him in this way," say the relatives of non-combat
victims.
