Zhoghovurd: Problems of Karabakh war veterans not solved yet
About two months ago Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan promised that he would meet with Karabakh war veterans protesting in Yerevan’s Liberty Square for better social conditions and propose concrete ways of solving their problems. Yet Tigran Sargsyan didn’t keep his promises once again and simply ‘transferred’ the Karabakh war veterans to Labor and Social Affairs Minister Artyom Asatrian, ‘Zhoghovurd’ notes.
According to the paper, Artyom Asatrian has promised that the government will develop a package of proposals based on the war veterans’ demands and submit it to the Armenian parliament. “Yesterday a group of veterans met with members of a commission set up by Armenian Defense ministry for examination of the problems raised. This time, new promises were made, but Karabakh war veterans are convinced that it will become possible ‘to get things moving”, the paper writes.
