SOLDIER WAS ILL, SENT TO PRISON

07:58 pm | October 14, 2011

The mother of temporary soldier Suren Kirakosyan today blamed the
representative of the apparatus of the Deputy Defense Minister,
Captain Vardan Ghukasyan for recruiting her ill son to the army.

“Your son is very healthy and must serve in the army,” Vardan
Ghukasyan told the woman. In response, the soldier’s mother demanded
that Ghukasyan present the results of her son’s check-up.

“My son has askarit, hematoma in his head and uterus, as well as
erosions in his stomach. He is incapable of serving in the army. Why
aren’t they letting me treat my child on my own? My son’s health is
more precious to me,” Suren Kirakosyan’s mother, Zvart complained.

However, Vardan Ghukasyan accused Mrs. Zvart for “having her son
escape” from the army.

“We see soldiers being killed on a daily basis. What should I have
done? Should I have sent him there? He is incapable of serving,” Mrs.

Zvart said.

We inform that Suren Kirakosyan, who is serving at the Sisyan military
unit in Syunik province, had come from military service and hadn’t
returned due to illness, but he had been sentenced to prison in Shushi.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
