Sophia Hovsepian: 'In addition to Soviet belts, Soviet jackets have been given to the boys participating in the three-month gathering'

Former MP Sophia Hovsepian's post: "So, since many were in a festive mood yesterday, I did not touch upon this topic again, which some have assessed as 'I am diverting the topic'... No, people, I am not diverting the topic; it is unshakably clear, and the soldier is in a miserable condition...

This topic should be in everyone's mind and under your care...

As you know, the boys participating in the three-month gathering were given Soviet belts, but no, it turns out we have not limited ourselves to that, as they were also given Soviet warm jackets. The boys were taken under the guise of 'military exercises,' and I won't go into further detail...

Every day, I receive calls, and since I have friends among them who have complained, they will confirm - an umbrella is needed, there is no tent, where do we buy it, sleeping bags are needed, sacks of flour are needed, a generator is needed, a telescope is needed, night vision devices are needed, we need, we need, we need...

Is this a state or...?

Are we independent or...?

It has been 30 years already, and the Soviet belt has remained an option for our soldier...

As a witness to the electoral campaign's notorious manipulation, one got a hammer, another got a sickle, and the other took a star and settled in...

When the Turk enters a territory, they say 'Soviet Union map,' and people repeat it and adapt...

Soviet Union. But where is the map of Independent Armenia?

Someone says, 'You are anti-Russian.' No, people, I do not allow you to conduct anti-Armenian propaganda; the Russian presence does not bother me, but our absence does...

Long life to the Russian and American, but keep them away from us, do not forget your ethnicity...

Someone says, 'You are Kocharian, you are Sargsyan, you are Nikol, no, man, I am Armenian without any '–ian'; even in the time I was in politics, I was never ‘-ian’...

I have no issues with any nation, exclusively with my enemy, who mercilessly pursues his age-old plan of exterminating my nation...

You say, 'That belt has always been there - in 2011, 2012, etc., but it was bad, we did not accept it; why do we only use the bad examples that we supposedly rejected...

Or you bring up the war. Do you know how many boys took their pants' belts during the war? If the Ministry of Defense had a belt, it was in storage; why didn’t you give it, why did you want a belt from us...

Or you say, 'The Soviet one is of quality...' We are supposed to die that in the 21st century, after thirty years, we cannot even have a belt of the same quality...

By the way, I should not forget to mention that there were no warm jackets during the war either; we sewed a lot, and even a few are still with me...

A year has passed, and they have not sewn jackets for the territorial defense; they are gathering men.

With a Soviet jacket, the SOLDIER OF INDEPENDENT ARMENIA...

In the Novoberian area of Tavush, there is also a water problem; let us raise money to get a tank of water, the soldier is innocent, every week they take 180 liters of water (close your eyes; don’t read this, it isn’t written in colored letters)...

Do not dare to read a moralizing speech here. My demand stands...

Armenian soldier, resist these unrestrained ones; your day will come!"
