Video: 'You have killed these children with your own hands, now you come acting, disturbing us' - Father of fallen soldier

“We do not want you to come to our children’s graves, desecrator! Do not come here, this 4 square meters is our property, we don’t want you, do not come.” This was stated by the father of one of the fallen soldiers during a conversation with journalists at the Yerablur military pantheon.

“All the parents present here agree with me, as long as you are here, this sacred place is being desecrated. You have killed these children with your own hands, now you come acting, disturbing us, and it’s a sin that you come. Our boys’ graves must remain clean. In the National Assembly, they should close the gates; everyone should take a weapon and go defend the border in Jermuk. The Turks have made the border 4.5 km with 12 people from 10 km,” he said.

The father of the fallen soldier stated that the red and black berets must be held accountable to the parents, including mothers, for causing bodily harm. “The boys died for their mothers, so that today their hands would be twisted and taken away from here? If any of the government-affiliated parliamentarians come to put flowers on my son’s grave, it means that grave is being desecrated. Should Anahit Avanesyan come and put flowers on my son’s grave? I won’t allow it,” the father of the fallen soldier said.
