“Wait another month; how much?” It’s been three years already. Every time they take us, the parents, for their black game, you don’t know what programs. All responsible institutions say the same thing: wait another month or 20 days. In other words, what they sold, what they have sold, and what they didn’t let them see how long they can stretch, and then they will clean up and leave. Even then, God knows where the boys will come home from. None of them work; they sit comfortably in their offices, they go to work, they get paid, parents like us are told today and tomorrow every day,” said the mother of Vardan Adoyan, one of the soldiers who went missing from the “Chemicals” military unit of Echmiadzin. Referring to the last meeting with the director of the NSS, Armen Abazyan, our interlocutor said that three months ago, Abazyan was saying to wait a month. “He said: people, wait for another month; it will be fine. We reminded him of what he said at this meeting; he said: I did not say such a thing. Parents’ phones are collected; parents have no way to record, so they can’t prove what they say and promise.” Vardan Adoyan’s mother, referring to the videos shared by the Azerbaijanis, claims that the missing persons of the chemical unit are alive and asks why Azerbaijan does not confirm that they are prisoners, according to our interlocutor; “The Turk has something to want that they are not even recognized as prisoners.” In response to our question, did they contact the Red Cross? “What red cross? Wasn’t Vagif Khachatryan taken away from the hands of the Red Cross? Does the Red Cross exist, does the investigation exist, and does the court exist? The trial of Makaryan Andranik and fugitive commander Arsen Abgaryan has been going on and on for three years now.”
