Parents of missing Armenian soldiers demand answers about their fate
Relatives of soldiers missing in action during the 44-day war have demanded a meeting with the leadership of the Armenian General Staff to learn the fate of their children.
"Caucasian Knot" reported that relatives of soldiers missing during the 44-day war met with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan but were unable to obtain information about their children's fate.
By October 2022, 217 people have been officially recognized as missing in action during the 44-day war in Armenia. Parents of soldiers whose fates remained unclear after the war periodically hold protests outside the Armenian Ministry of Defense and government buildings. According to the Red Cross, there are approximately 300 people listed as missing in action during the 2020-2023 hostilities. In addition, several dozen families disagreed with the results of the examination that declared their relatives dead - they insist that their loved ones should be included on the list of missing. Relatives of the fighters spoke out against the dismissal of the head of the National Security Service of Armenia, Armen Abazyan, who carried out extensive work to search for the fighters.
Parents of soldiers missing in action during the 44-day war are holding a protest in Yerevan in front of the Armenian Defense Ministry.
The parents are demanding a meeting with Chief of the General Staff Eduard Asryan and Commander-in-Chief of the Nagorno-Karabakh Armed Forces Kamo Vardanyan. The parents are awaiting a clear response from the ministry, News.Am reports.
According to a video published by the agency, approximately five or six people are participating in the protest; they are located near the gates of the building. A concentration of security forces is visible outside the gates and at the entrance. The situation is calm; the protesters are not holding signs or shouting demands.
