SERZH SARGSYAN HAS RECEIVED LETTER BY PARENTS OF DEAD SOLDIERS: NO RESPONSE YET
03.12.2015 15:38 epress.am
Today, March 12, only one of the parents of soldiers who have died in
the army during peacetime, Gohar Sargsyan, was allowed to approach
the Reception of Citizens, Appeals, Complaints and Proposals Office
of the RA President's office in order to receive a response to their
letter sent in November of last year.
Last week, the police did not allow the parents to walk along the
Presidential Palace's sidewalk to approach the reception office with
the reasoning that they might have stood in front of the building
and protested.
The parents also encountered police restrictions today, and
subsequently called the Human Rights Defender's office. After
private negotiations between the Ombudsman's office staffer and
police officers, Gohar Sargsyan was allowed to enter the receptions
and appeals department.
After an approximately half-hour meeting with department head Aida
Asatryan, Gohar Sargsyan told an Epress.am journalist and the other
parents that "Asatryan said that she reported to the chief of staff
and that the President is informed about the protest and demands."
According to the parent, Asatryan even showed her list of registered
meetings to prove that she had done her job and informed Serzh
Sargsyan.
Asatryan stated that the President had not responded to the letter
and if he ever did they would send it to the parents, since they have
their addresses and phone numbers.
Note, that the parents of dead soldiers demand and expect Serzh
Sargsyan to stay true to his promise he made many years ago, in order
to safeguard fair trials for their children's cases.
