During a regular protest outside the Armenian government building,
Nana Muradyan, mother of deceased soldier Valeriy Muradyan, fell ill
and was taken to Armenia Republican Medical Center in an ambulance.
Prior to falling ill, Muradyan told the Epress.am correspondent on
the scene that she was approached by a woman who introduced herself
as Ano of the Armenian National Army who told her that on the day of
her son Valeriy Muradyan's funeral, Chair of Zinvor Association of
NGOs, mother of a deceased soldier Margarita Khachatryan (known by the
nickname "Maroz") asked the Ministry of Defense to transfer money to
the Muradyan family not only to cover funeral expenses, but also to
purchase an apartment, to which the family, according to Ano, agreed.
Nana Muradyan believes this was said to discredit her, as she claims
she didn't receive an apartment. According to her, the problem began
on June 21, when on the day of deceased soldier Grisha Khachatryan's
autopsy, she urged Khachatryan's family not to believe the defense
ministry's theories and not to bury their son until a criminal case
under murder charges is launched.
"The expert came out and said it was murder, and I said, when they
brought the body of my only son, there was no one to give me advice
on how to act. I also said that Maroz will come, put her hand on your
child's head, as she did with my child, and will swear in her black
[mourning] clothes, on her child's grave, that the guilty will be
punished, that this will be the last victim. I said [it] because Maroz
Margo is the defense minister's Pampers [diapers]. And the following
day, Maroz sent a man to our house, to go, tell Nana that I asked the
police chief to give her money for burying her son. And today, the
Armenian National Army's Ano, under Margo's command, comes and tells
me in the square that [Minister of Defense] Seyran Ohanyan gave you
money to hire a lawyer and did so upon Margo's request," said Muradyan.
On the matter of an attorney, Muradyan said she personally spoke with
Seyran Ohanyan, who said the woman definitely needs a lawyer to work
on her son's case and expressed willingness to pay for it, which he
did, and Margarita Khachatryan, said Muradyan, had nothing to do with
it. Muradyan claims that talk about an apartment are completely untrue.
Angered by what happened, the mothers of soldiers who died in
non-combat conditions contacted Minister of Defense spokesperson
Artsrun Hovhannisyan and asked to meet with the minister.
Later, Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan (pictured above, right)
met the mothers outside the government building's rear entrance and
promised to see them inside.
After the minister left, Nana Muradyan's condition drastically
deteriorated, and police officers had to call an ambulance.
Note, a group of parents for years have been protesting outside the
Armenian government building and president's office, demanding to
identify and punish those responsible for the deaths of their sons, all
of whom were killed while serving in the army in non-combat conditions.
