HistoryofTruth.com - Armenian Allegations

Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan’s relative Ohan Harutunyan is among the Armenian soldiers, who crossed into the territory controlled by Azerbaijani Armed Forces in order to get rid of the tyranny in the Armenian army.

Ohan Harutunyan, 19, who left the army together with Gevorg Tovmasyan and surrendered to Azerbaijan, and Gevorg said they had undergone violence and humiliation in the military unit in Nagorno Karabakh. Gevorg Tovmaysan said he had been humiliated by the commander, made to clean the toilet from the first day of the military service. Tovmasyan said he decided to flee and shared his decision with Ohan. Gevorg and Ohan said they had been received well in Azerbaijan and did not want to return to Armenia.
“While crossing into the Azerbaijani side we thought our conditions would be better than in Armenia. We were received well in Azerbaijan. Our condition is good. We do not have problems with food. We are given everything we need. It is impossible to live in Armenia, there is hunger, unemployment there,” he said.

 

Ohan Harutunyan says though he is Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan’s relative, he did not ask minister to help when he faced violence and ill-treatment.

“When I faced the situation in the army, I understood that Ohanyan was not a good man and it would be useless to appeal to him,” he said.

To the question about the atmosphere in the Armenian Army Ohan says the Armenians serving in Nagorno Karabakh say they will flee if the war starts.

“We know that these territories are not ours. Most Armenians realize that these territories do not belong to Armenia and they must be returned,” he said.
