12:56 ~U 05.06.13
Veterans of the Nagorno-Karabakh liberation war have raised their
problems again, promising to keep fighting for their rights unless
they see a solution.
At a news conference on Wednesday, Ishkhan Sargasyan, the president of
the veterans union Shushi 92, said most heroes remain ignored today,
despite their glorious feats during the war,
“Many freedom fighters, even those who didn’t spare their life for
the country, cannot afford anything today,” he said, noting that the
respect for the war veterans is decreasing little by little now.
Referring to an earlier meeting with Minister of Defense Seyran
Ohanyan, the war veteran said he had promised to submit their demands
to the president. “As people who have seen a war I am hopeful they
must be able to understand us,” he said
Sargsyan added that the war heroes will not give up their struggle,
no matter whether few or any, “We are not going to step back. This
struggle; they are welcome to join,” he said.
