Armenian soldier Paruyr Stepanyan who fled Armenia last year in
protest of widespread violence and tyranny in the Armenian Army has
gained 24 kg weight, according to ANS Press.
Armenian soldier Paruyr Stepanyan who fled his country in 2008 in
protest against widespread violence and tyranny in the Armenian Army
has been handed to the third country in accordance with his own
will. He said in his interview with ANS TV shortly before his
departure that he spent a very pleasant year in Azerbaijan stressing
that he did not even feel how the days passed. `I didn’t quite feel I
was an imprisoner thanks to the people dealing with me. They developed
a special program for me. I was watching TV and even walking out. I
was also provided with plenty of food," Armenian soldier said.
Stepanyan who was only 48-kg in weight now added up to 24 kilos. He
now weighs 72 kg. He also sent a message to a newly conscripted
Armenian soldiers. `I call on them to pass to the Azerbaijani
territory. I already know how hospitable Azerbaijani people are. They
will get here everything they want to. I’m absolutely sure of that,’
Stepanyan noted.
"I call on them to flee Armenia. Because they will forcibly be taken
to the army and Daqliq Qarabaq. People don’t want to fight. I lived in
Armenia myself. I know what is happening in the country. People don’t
think about war. All Qarabaq Armenians have gathered in Yerevan. They
kill the local Armenians. Because, the leaders of the country are also
Qarabaqi Armenians. People perfectly understand that they can’t live
in such a country’, he said.
Stepanyan says Armenians should make a decision about their future and
should throw their weapons off and return the occupied territories to
their true owners. He believes Armenia might develop only after taking
that step. He preferred to keep it secret to which country he was
going to. `I regret I can`t answer your question. It is connected with
my security. You know that there is a terrorist organization called
`ASALA’. Therefore I’m concerned about my safety." Stepanyan said.
