The parents of 5 soldiers killed during peacetime sent a letter to
President Serzh Sargsyan back in November 27, 2014, demandeding that
the President meet them and resolve "the criminal cases dealing with
our children's deaths."
Nearly 2 months have passed since sending the letter, however,
the parents have still not received a response. The parents spoke
about the non-existing response during a protest in front of the
Presidential Palace today. They continually mentioned that on January
27 of 2011, the Presidential staff promised them behind the Palace
trees that the newly appointed Military Prosecutor Gevorg Kostanyan
(current General Prosecutor) would get acquainted with the criminal
cases and present a new approach. According to the parents, however,
the wagon has stayed at the same place and the real circumstances of
their children's deaths have not been revealed yet.
"Who should we appeal to? I suppose to Putin, I guess he's our
president," said Irina Ghazaryan, the mother of Artur Ghazaryan who
died in 2010.
The latter also turned to the Gyurmi tragedy, recalling Gevorg
Kostanyan giving a "man's word" to Gyurmi residents that he would
appeal to Russia for the transfer of the murder suspect Valery
Permyakov, who admitted to killing 7 members of the Avetisyan family
to the Armenian authorities.
"The corpses are laid to rest and you're giving a man's word. Are you
talking with the criminals, are you in negotiations, are you with the
gangsters? Which planet are you living on? You are General Prosecutor,
you have to put yourself in the people's shoes...What is your man's
word to their demands? What does a "man's word" even mean? Does a
General Prosecutor have the right to do such things?" noted Ghazaryan.
