A group of protesters in Yerevan demanding information about soldiers killed not in action have had a fight with police near the residence of President Serzh Sargsyan this week. The mother of one of the dead soldiers was hospitalized after the incident. Sargsyan’s administration has been receiving letters from the relatives asking for information about the soldiers. One of such letters received at the Presidential Administration on November 27 came from Goar Sargsyan, the mother of soldier Tigran Oganjanyan, killed by electricity in 2007, Epress.am reports.
Goar Sargsyan emphasized that parents seeking information had met with Prime Minister Ovik Abramyan and Prosecutor General Gevorg Kostanyan and wanted to meet with President Serzh Sargsyan, referring to his promise to investigate the deaths. The president did not find time to meet with them personally. In response to the refusal of the protesters to leave, the police moved people away from the residence. Goar Sargsyan and her husband Suren Oganjanyan were injured. Raphael Pogosyan, the head of the rapid reaction section of the Ombudsman’s Office, was told that demonstrations around the building were prohibited.
Igran Orukhanyan, spokesman of the Prosperous Armenia Party, said that the political crisis in Armenia was so grave that President Sargsyan could not keep his promises.
Arman Musinyan, spokesman of the Armenian National Congress, believes that Sargsyan is not committed to promises at all. He called the disappointment of the public unsurprising.
