More than 20 years have passed since the Karabakh war, but the
Armenian government still fails to allocate financial resources to war
veterans, Hovik Bardumyan, a Karabakh war veteran, told a news
conference in Yerevan.

`The veterans were forced to organize protests,’ he said, adding that
they are holding sit-ins not only in Yerevan but also in Armenian
provinces, demanding to improve their financial situation.

Sit-ins are being held in Vanadzor, Bardumyan said, adding that Lori
governor, Vanadzor mayor and police chief visited the protesting
veterans and conveyed their support to them.

`We will continue to struggle in every possible way until we achieve
victory,’ the war veteran concluded.
