"Why don’t you ask me why I have gone to Northern avenue?" why",
RA citizen Gohar Sargsian turned to policemen with this question on
March 27. Gohar’s son was killed in the army, in a military unit
of Kartchaghbyur, Vardenis, on August 30, 2007. She hasn’t found
disclosed the reasons for death. Every day Gohar Sargsian goes to
Northern Avenue in search for truth. Yesterday she was taken to a
police station with her husband Suren Ohanjanian."

"Every day we go to the avenue to walk about. As usual we were walking
along the avenue yesterday when I heard, "Hold the ones in black
clothes and take them away! We were kept in the police department of
Shengavit district for two hours. Afterwards, we were taken to the
police department of Zeitun. After an hour or two we were set free",
says Suren Ohanjanian.

Gohar didn’t allow policemen to take their fingerprints.

"I’ll first kill the one who murdered my son and then surrender. Who
you are? Why should I obey your instructions and give fingerprints",
says Mrs.

Sargsian who has knocked at the doors of all instances in search
of justice.

"We are sorry Mrs., but you will know nothing of your son’s
assassination even in 10 years’ time," representative of the Minitry
of Justice told me.

"What kind of country it is! I wrote a letter to the prime-minister
on November 15. I was told that my letter had been forwarded to the
Ministry of Trade.

What nonsense, I say. Is the Ministry of Trade supposed to decide
the price of the assassination?

It’s 7 months I have been waiting to an answer for my letter. Wherever
I go, I receive the same indifference. They have turned the country
into their property", says Gohar.
