A group of protesters in Yerevan demanding information about soldiers
killed not in action have had a fight with police near the residence
of President Serzh Sargsyan this week. The mother of one of the dead
soldiers was hospitalized after the incident. Sargsyan's administration
has been receiving letters from the relatives asking for information
about the soldiers. One of such letters received at the Presidential
Administration on November 27 came from Goar Sargsyan, the mother of
soldier Tigran Oganjanyan, killed by electricity in 2007, Epress.am
reports.
Goar Sargsyan emphasized that parents seeking information had met with
Prime Minister Ovik Abramyan and Prosecutor General Gevorg Kostanyan
and wanted to meet with President Serzh Sargsyan, referring to his
promise to investigate the deaths. The president did not find time
to meet with them personally. In response to the refusal of the
protesters to leave, the police moved people away from the residence.
Goar Sargsyan and her husband Suren Oganjanyan were injured. Raphael
Pogosyan, the head of the rapid reaction section of the Ombudsman's
Office, was told that demonstrations around the building were
prohibited.
Igran Orukhanyan, spokesman of the Prosperous Armenia Party, said that
the political crisis in Armenia was so grave that President Sargsyan
could not keep his promises.
Arman Musinyan, spokesman of the Armenian National Congress, believes
that Sargsyan is not committed to promises at all. He called the
disappointment of the public unsurprising.
