Which mother would give her child to the homeland if they are making 'bags' from her son's bones and throwing them on the floor? – Mikhail Minasian

Which mother would give her child to the homeland if they are making 'bags' from her son's bones and throwing them on the floor? This was stated by Mikhail Minasian, the former Armenian ambassador to the Vatican, on his Facebook page.

He specifically wrote: “This is the end. Both for the state and for society. Who is still ready to sacrifice themselves for the state if heroes are treated this way? Which mother would give her child to the homeland if they are making 'bags' from her son's bones and throwing them on the floor? This is the end of the army too. Any soldier or officer seeing this image will not feel a sense of duty.”

“This is the end for a society that has fundamentally and irreversibly lost its moral compass. And this stain has been branded on it by this photograph. This photo is also the end of substantial conversation with all those who tried to justify Nikol with his 'inexperience', 'bad legacy', and unequal war forces. There is no point in talking to them anymore if they are still trying to say something.”

“From the very beginning of the war, the miscarriage Nikol and the miscarriage Anna hid the number of casualties, and afterward, the bodies. Seven months after the war, when this photograph suddenly appeared, the minister with only four months of experience (but already a recipient of the first-class medal for services to the homeland) calmly said on Public TV that 'why should they keep the bodies?', while the so-called miscarriage prime minister was just moments before speaking about the slow reforms in the healthcare system without a single word of regret or sorrow addressed to the parents and relatives who have been desperately searching for their children or at least their remains for seven months.”

“No one is explaining why, seven months after the war, the bodies of those young men who were first betrayed and then killed are found hidden in basements. No one is talking about the fact that this is a state crime and an insult to humanity. This is something that must be punished criminally.”

“No one is talking about the fact that parents are being returned bundles with one hand and three legs, and when it turns out that one is extra, they say, 'well, just return one leg.' No one is punishing those who brazenly say, 'well, it’s war, what do you want?' No one is spitting in the faces of those who say, 'don’t politicize the photo.'”

“The guilty and accomplices of these photographs are not just Nikol, Anna, and the four-month minister. The collaborators include the intellectuals who swallowed their tongues, the veterans who return medals on suitable occasions, the diaspora Armenians in expensive suits sitting in Paris in front of Nikol, environmentalists who turned the Mashtots Park into an 'Armenian issue', and those public figures who are currently saying, 'we’re not engaged in politics.' All those who are silent today.”

“The list goes on. They think they will be forgotten and forgiven. I am confident that they will not. Personally, I hope I will never see those mentioned face to face again because I am not sure I will be able to control myself.”
