After week-end protests in central Yerevan, veteran heroes of the
Nagorno-Karabakh war marched in procession to the Government building
on Monday afternoon to demand state guarantees for their social
protection and welfare.
Around 50 war veterans were heading to the Government, holding posters
with the slogans, `Dignified Salary to Serviceman', `Servicemen's
Rights are Violated', etc.
Volodyn Avetisyan, who started a sit-in protest on Saturday, said they
all are aware that the state is capable of offering a little bit
better and more dignified life to the war heroes (despite the existing
social difficulties).
In an earlier statement published in the media, Avetisyan called for
state measures to grant money awards to the freedom fighters and
retired servicemen , as well as their families.
The war veteran claimed that it is the Armenian Government's special
policies to pay as little money as possible to servicemen.
Speaking to reporters, Avetisyan said their crowd could be bigger
today if former freedom fighters residing in the regions could afford
the money for transport in order to join them.
