Parents of many boys who went missing in the 44-day war of 2020, before the national elections held in Armenia on June 7, expressed hope that if the government changes in Armenia, a national government will come, then the given government will start dealing with the fate of their sons. However, after June 7, this hope faded.

 Karine Manavazyan, the mother of one of the missing servicemen of the “Chemical Unit”, He also lost his hope, he says, the hope of many parents like him died out.

“I have always said and I repeat now that if the government in Armenia changed, they would deal with our boys, if it has not changed, then our hope is completely gone.”

Nothing has changed and will not change as long as Nikol Pashinyan is in power. Until he leaves, no issue will be resolved, no one will give a finger, it is not in their interest to resolve this issue and get a solution to the issue.”– 168.amKarine Manavazyan said in a conversation with

He emphasized that Nikol Pashinyan did not say anything about the missing boys either during the pre-election campaign or after that, he only heard the statement of Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan “you knelt down” when the journalist asked him a question during the pre-election campaign in Gyumri about the Armenian prisoners held in Baku.

“We have not heard anything else from the authorities except for the “kneel” of the foreign minister. I don’t even expect to hear anything from them. Unfortunately, on June 7, when I realized that they were re-elected by falsifying the elections, perhaps from that day until today, I am bad, my only hope was extinguished, because until then I thought that another government would come and do something, but no.

They will not do anything, they have been proving for the 6th year that they are not going to do anything,” Karine Manavazyan added.

He also conveyed that for a long time, he “doesn’t go to the door” of any department, because they are all the same, they only talk and leave, without results.

“I’ll be honest, I don’t see any way out after all this, I’m sitting like a madman thinking: how many of these are there, there’s no way out, if they talk about something, they do it just to talk.

There’s no need to knock on anyone’s door anymore, I’m tired of everyone, we’ve seen so much contempt, let’s go, what should we do?

A policeman says to me: “Morkur, this is your problem”, is this something that a law enforcement officer is saying? I know that this is my problem, it is my sorrow, my pain, and that pain is not of interest to any state body,” emphasized Karine Manavazyan.

Let us remind that after the 44-day war in Artsakh in 2020, the parents of the missing servicemen of the “Chemical Unit” of Etchmiadzin knocked on the doors of various departments to get any information about their sons, in vain. The NSS, the Investigative Committee, the Government, the Ministry of Defense do not give them any answers, the only sentence they repeat, apart from the Government, is that “we are busy”.

We should also remind that in 2023, almost at this time, on July 26, the parents of the missing servicemen of the “Chemical Unit” of Etchmiadzin held a protest on Baghramyan street, in front of the presidential residence, where Nikol Pashinyan is also temporarily sitting. The participants of the action announced that they will hold a sit-in until Nikol Pashinyan does not accept and listen to them.

Although the parents had blocked the road for hours, no member of the Government approached them, apart from the Police officers and officials.
