I Received an Alarm That the Grandma's Lost Body Is Not the Only Case. Nairi Zohrabyan

Leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party, Nairi Zohrabyan, posted on her Facebook page to inform that she received another alarm regarding a body that went missing after dying from coronavirus.

“Are you kidding? In response to my alarm that the body of a grandmother from Gyumri who died from coronavirus has gone missing and her relatives have been searching for two days, the Ministry of Health practically responds something like this: 'Oh, yes, we already know it has gone missing; if necessary, we’ll do a DNA analysis, so please don’t exploit it unnecessarily.' This is roughly the kind of response we get. Naturally, it turned out that the body is indeed missing, and a nurse, who does not read Armenian well, gave the grandmother's body to completely different individuals who came to collect their deceased for anatomical reasons. They glanced at the body from a distance and said, ‘Yes, it looks like ours.' They took it away and buried someone else's relative.

It's fortunate that the relatives of the missing grandmother were not told, ‘Well, come and take another body; try to identify it yourself, and take this one instead.' What is happening today in Armenia—this absolute irresponsibility and cynicism, this morbid complex of invulnerability—is genuinely frightening. I expected that the ministry or the commandant's office would adequately respond to my alarm, thank me for reporting, and say that a tragic event has occurred and the guilty will be punished, perhaps even call and apologize to the grandmother's family. But no, how could they have the dignity and strength to admit their mistake? They barely manage to attack the grieving of their own deceased, questioning what kind of nonsense we have raised, is it a body we have lost, are you against the revolution, are you perhaps counter-revolutionary?

You are sick, dear rulers; seriously sick, and your illness is your shamelessness, disgusting populism, repulsive demagoguery, and utter disregard for the people. If you think that with a few discharged bots and the Armenian diaspora in Glendale, you can silence everyone everywhere, I must tell you that you have grossly miscalculated. If you think you can silence us by leveling criminal charges, you have no idea how big a mistake you have made.

To the respected aunts from Losi and the aunts from Ust-Kamenogorsk, who returned to the Facebook highway since yesterday, you are even trying to adjust a person's death and grief to the comfort zones of your cherished authorities; what an amusing ensemble you have created. In contrast to you, family is sacred to me and millions like me, and grief deserves respect. If you lounging in front of your iPads or while doing your manicures think that if a body goes missing and one body is mistakenly given to someone else, we should be silent so that the revolutionary values are not undermined and the velvet does not fall from the revolution, that’s where you are terribly mistaken.

By the way, I received another alarm yesterday that the grandmother’s lost body is not the only case during this time. I am currently confirming the details and circumstances. Once verified, expect new information. And you sitting in front of your iPads are waiting for a ‘he’s got it’ moment to give a ‘powerful’ counterstrike against me and write in your sub-media, ‘Look at how our compatriot from the village of Tupitsa in the Perm region has delivered a devastating blow to Nairi Zohrabyan’: headlines of such ‘blows’ amuse me the most. By the way, there is indeed a village named Tupitsa, just as there is a village named Khrenovo,” Nairi Zohrabyan wrote.

Previously, Nairi Zohrabyan had posted on her Facebook page informing that one citizen had notified her that they could not find the body of a relative who was infected with coronavirus.
