'Freedom fighters demand same as Ministry tells government every year'
Wednesday,
May 15
Freedom fighters today demand the same as the Defense Ministry tells
the Armenian government before the budget's approval every year,
Armenian Defense Ministry's spokesman Artsrun Hovhannisian told
Aysor.am when commenting on the protests staged by freedom fighters.
`Every year the Defense Ministry asks the government to solve the
problem of a social package of freedom fighters and retired officers.
On the other hand we don't want to send the ball into the government's
court, so to speak, and sit by. In fact, it means serious
expenditure,' A. Hovhannisian noted, adding:
`During his visits to freedom fighters, the head of the Defense
Ministry's social service tried to clarify their demands and make them
more well-founded'.
We would remind you that a group of freedom fighters led by retired
Colonel Volodya Avetisian ended their sit-down protest in Liberty
Square of Yerevan yesterday. They announced that they will set up a
NGO to continue their struggle.
