Relatives of the Missing Prevented Food Transfer to Defense Ministry Employees, Leading to Conflict

This morning, one of the relatives of the missing people, Arsen Ghukasyan, stated in a Facebook live broadcast that Defense Ministry employees hurled bottles at the parents of the missing individuals. He noted, 'This morning, the Minister of Defense was touring the Ministry's territory with his people and did not approach us again. Before that, some scoundrels inside provoked a ruckus, a scuffle, and threw a bottle at the parents from this side of the railing.'

Auroranews' reliable sources report that a confrontation occurred between the relatives of the missing and Defense Ministry employees when the relatives brought food and water to employees who have been blockaded in the building for already one day. Participants in the protest did not allow the food to be passed through the bars, which led to the argument.

We also reported earlier that several soldiers were trying to enter the ministry through an iron staircase near the Ministry's ramparts. According to our source, this is a normal process, as the soldiers are being deployed to military units and are returning to the ministry while maintaining their work processes.

It is also worth noting that the Defense Ministry offered the participants of the protest a meeting with the Minister of Defense, but they refused and demanded that the minister come to them.
