The parents of victim-soldiers who died in their military units
while at service started a sitting-strike in front of the Government
building by the entrance stairs, but the policemen forcingly removed
them from there.
"You have made a show", the policemen were claiming. "We wish you
a show like this in your homes," replied the dead serviceman’s aunt
Susanna Galstian. Her nephew had been at Army service in Agarak unit
in Meghri district and died on May 9, Victory Day this year. "He was
the only son of my brother. They don’t have any other children. The
officers got drunk on that day, beat the offspring and threw him into
the petroleum tank, as if he got drowned. 23 more days and he would
be back home from his service," Susanna talked to "A1+" in tears.
"I’ve been told that my son had died out of electricity shock, but
in that case his clothes would be torn out. His officers had killed
him and scared the other soldiers not to give any testimony otherwise
they would be punished more bitterly." The mother of serviceman Tigran
Ohanjanian who died on August 31, 2007, told "A1+".
According to dead soldiers’ parents’ words they have met Deputy Head
of National Security Service who invited them to his office tomorrow.
Today there was another act of complaint towards Government by the
residents of "the zone of alienation" who demanded to meet the Prime
Minister. However their shouting "Prime-Minister" and loud whistling
didn’t reach the PM.
