A soldier from a military unit in the northern region of Tavush has
contacted No Silence youth initiative’s hotline service to complain
about discrimination against him.
Hovhannes Yesayan, 19, said a routine dispute at the unit had caused
the regiment commander, Seyran Ghazaryan, and the headquarter chief,
Artur Kirakosyan to file a lawsuit against him. The soldier claimed
that the unit command had furnished the law enforcement agencies with
false evidence that could lead to a two-months’ detention.
The court ruling has entered into force but the command reportedly
refuses to disclose it to the soldier. Yesayan considers it a
deliberate measure to prevent him from appealing the ruling with a
10-day period.
The phone conversation was recorded is being published upon the
soldier’s request, A copy of the record has been sent to the Ministry
of Defense.
