X Number of People Participated in the Battles of Shushi, but X+ Number Received Medals - Kocharyan

If my memory serves me right, X number of people participated in the battles of Shushi, but X+ number received medals. This was stated today, August 9, from the podium of the National Assembly by Andrean Kocharyan, a member of the Civil Contract faction.

“There is a post-war syndrome where people go and obtain documents, because the government has programs from which undeserving individuals also want to benefit. Now it is the task of our law enforcement agencies to quickly identify these undeserving individuals and rapidly eliminate these corrupt mechanisms. They exist, and they have also been present in the past. If my memory serves me right, X number of people participated in the battles of Shushi, but X+ number received medals. It is difficult to say what the structure of that plus is, because that needs to be excluded. The beginning of such exclusion should be initiated by the relevant structures of the Armed Forces, but you also understand that these structures are subject to serious changes, including personnel changes, so that we do not give any opportunity to think about similar issues,” said Andrean Kocharyan.
