You Are Ignorant Because Those Bags Do Not Contain Your Child, Your Relative, This Is Not Your Pain: Journalist Lilit Aghajanyan

It has been stated repeatedly in various media outlets, websites, and Facebook posts that there is no need to spread such videos. If you are one of those writing such things, you are ignorant, because those bags do not contain your child, or your relative, this is not your pain.

This was written by journalist Lilit Aghajanyan on her Facebook page, addressing the public discussions and circulating video regarding the bodies of our soldiers kept at the morgue of the tuberculosis dispensary in Abovyan.

“And if it’s not yours, then there’s no need to say anything, right? Well, while writing, just for a moment, turn on your straight-line brain and think that if it were your child, how would you feel? Look beyond your nose and see that there is a parent writhing in pain, who is no less than you, who certainly is better at raising a child than you. In your cars, you enter the yard with music blaring, but in that yard, there is a child who has been killed and another disabled child. Before you write or decide what to spread or not, always put yourself in the place of that person. Stop editing everyone’s work and life,” she wrote.
