The relatives of the fallen servicemen of the D20 artillery division of the Tsor military unit in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) are in front of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Armenia.

Anahit Manasyan, a relative of one of these fallen soldiers, Hayk Melikyan, said that they are here to submit a report on a crime.

"On April 13, 2022, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan uttered such wording in the National Assembly, which give us grounds to consider it confirmed that the large-scale war operations unleashed by Azerbaijan against the Artsakh Republic on September 27, 2020 began at Nikol Pashinyan's instigation as well as as a result of abusing his official powers, "Manasyan read as she read an excerpt from the aforesaid crime report to be submitted to the Prosecutor General’s Office.

She quoted Pashinyan's aforementioned statement on April 13: "They say to me, 'Could you have prevented the [Artsakh] war [in 2020]?' Yes, we could have prevented the war, as a result of which we would have had this same situation—of course without the casualties.”

"We expect the case to be processed and people to be punished. Nikol Pashinyan's statement made in the National Assembly was already a self-confessed testimony about a crime, by not processing of which we do wrong to our [fallen] children. We will do everything so that this petition is processes. We expect to see Nikol Pashinyan punished in accordance with the law," one of these fallen servicemen’s parent told the reporters.

The parents added that they will take part in any movement that will be able to hold Pashinyan accountable.
