As is the case just about every Thursday, a demonstration took place in front of the RA Government building in central Yerevan today. Today too, as with every time Armenia’s government convenes for a session, the parents of sons killed under unknown circumstances while serving in the Armenian army raised their voices of protest. <\/p>\n

“They are devouring our children’s blood… how many soldiers died over the last few months,” the mother of Arayik Avtisyan, who died in 2001 at Vayk military unit, told Epress.am.<\/p>\n

They kill a soldier, then let the commanders and generals kill themselves. The General Prosecutor and Republic’s president bears the burden of the guilt of all soldiers’ murders. Zahrmar<\/span>, our efficient army… I brought my child from Russia, enlisted him in the army, so these hyenas could devour my child’s blood.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
