Parents of the Armenian soldiers who died in non-combat conditions held another protest in Yerevan on April 9.
Mothers of the soldiers first gathered outside the Presidential administration then moved towards the parliament building, AzVision.az reported citing eprees.am.

They expressed concern over the fact that no criminal cases on the death of soldiers are opened, saying that they are waiting for Prosecutor General Gevorq Kostanyan’s annual report at the parliament.

“Mothers of the soldiers would like to know how the prosecutor general is going to explain why no criminal cases are opened, and whether MPs are going to raise an issue on crimes within the army,” eprees.am said.

Republic MP Samvel Farmanyan, who, unlike his colleagues, stopped to listen to the protesters. Farmanyan said that no words could console the grief of a parent who has lost a son. According to the MP, he knows the pain, his cousin died in the army, too.
