Video: Recently, Defense Ministry Employees Threw Bottles at Parents of the Missing

On the morning of April 9, near the Ministry of Defense, employees of the Ministry threw bottles at the parents of the missing. This was reported by Arsen Ghukasyan, a relative of a missing person, during a live broadcast on Facebook.

“In the morning, the Minister of Defense was taking a tour of the ministry area with his staff, and he did not approach us again. Prior to that, some scoundrels from inside engaged in provocation—there was pushing, hitting, and they threw bottles at the parents from just this side of the fence,” he said.

Arsen Ghukasyan called on the Armenian nation, stating, “At this moment, this government, as well as the Ministry of Defense, is ignoring our children; they couldn't care less about us or our children. I urge you to join us, because we need numbers right now. We are here, we are not going anywhere. Come to the main entrance of the Ministry of Defense; we will discuss how you can be helpful right here. These people show absolutely no respect for the parents and the children; they completely disrespect us. They are servants of Turks; if they are hitting a fallen soldier’s father with a bottle and ignoring the mother of a missing soldier, understand what kind of scoundrels they are.”
