STEPANAKERT, Artsakh (A.W.)—Artsakh serviceman Grigor Yeghoyan (b. 1998) was killed by Azerbaijani fire on Feb. 22 at around 9:40 a.m.
According to a press statement published by the Artsakh Ministry of Defense, Yeghoyan was killed at a military unit in the northeastern direction of the Line of Contact (LoC) between Artsakh and Azerbaijan.
The Defense Ministry also announced that an investigation has been launched into the incident and expressed its grief and offered condolences to the soldier’s family, loved ones, and fellow servicemen.
Yeghoyan’s death comes less than a month after another Artsakh serviceman—Hayk Kalantaryan— was killed by Azerbaijani sniper fire. Kalanyaryan, who was also born in 1998, was fatally wounded at an Artsakh Army military unit at around 1:50 p.m. on Feb. 7.
it seems that young Armenian soldiers are being killed almost on a regular basis. is there any retaliation or are these boys just sitting ducks.
Armenia’s leaders are a bunch of spineless cowards. You know why? Because this has been going on for 25 years, and the enemy is not afraid of violating the ceasefire and there are no consequences. There isn’t anything more to say really, if Armenian leadership is not doing anything about this, then diaspora can’t do anything either. The message they give themselves is, just get shot, die and do you funeral. So if this is your status, then accept it and don’t complain.
Is that useless mob who sit behind closed doors trying falsely to pretend to bring peace in the area ever going to wake up and put immediate sanctions against this unruly government of azerbaijan? are they not a conspirator of doing absolutely nothing and pretending that discussions is the only way to bring peace. These people have no idea, they do not realise that they are dealing with a regime in azerbaijan that knows nothing else but sending murderous snipers and creating a war zone. When will they ever wake up?
when are we going to stop expecting “others” to do or say something about it? International community can care less. Its up to us to stop it. Always has been. Instead, our leaders argue and steal and cheat other Armenians.
Again?
When will I read that some worthless terrorist Turk is killed on the lines of contact?
Can we SHOOT?
Do we have training as snipers?
Looks like the answer is NO.
