DEMANDING REPLY FROM GOVERNMENT

Social

Like every Thursday a group of people staged a protest action at the Governmental Buildings today. Mothers of dead soldiers showed their sons pictures demanding that the murderers be punished. Another group of people held Arman Babajanian’s picture and demanded to set him free. Still others, deprived of their property rights, shouted: “Thieves!”, “Robbers!”

Parents of the soldiers killed in the Army demanded a special commission that would be engaged in the process of discovering the real murderers. In their words their sons have been killed, but they were severely beaten before they died.

“My 21-year-old son was killed in the military units of Stepanavan last year on April 15. He used to be a junior sergeant. I do not understand how they can conceal such kind of murders,” said murdered Gegham Sergoyan’s father.

“Who did our children die for?” asked the parents.

They were accepted by Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian who told them that the murders were committed before he was appointed to the post. He also noted that the Ministry had a special commission formed to investigate the case.

Regarding the other groups staging a protest action MP of the “Heritage” Party Zaruhi Postanjian stated: “The attitude of the Government should be changed and Arman Babajanian should be released ahead of the detention term together with the other political prisoners.”
