He said that Armenian military leadership’s concealing losses of the army from its own people is not a new fact: “Reports about it have been disseminated several times. Even, parents of the soldiers are forced to hold rallies in the center of Yerevan in order to receive any news about their children. Soldier David Teteryan’s mysterious death on February 18 and deaths of Kamo Hovanisyan and Teymur Suloyan a day later are a clear evidence of it. The information about the two facts was concealed, but military leadership had to issue a statement after facing public pressure,” he said.

The expert noted that one more matter is being concealed from the Armenian community and international agencies. The matter is about relentless pressure and persecution underwent by the servicemen of Kurdish origin. “Teymur Suloyan, who died on Feb.19, and Aziz Bakoyan, who had willfully left on Feb. 6 a military unit are Yazidis. Armenia is the only country in post- Soviet space, where no other nation or ethnic group is living except Yazidi Kurds. Other nations’ living in Armenia is impossible due to its policy of separatism and racial hostility. Armenians displaced not only Azerbaijanis from their ancestral lands, but also expelled other nations from the territories called Armenia. They are continuing this policy. However, unfortunately we even didn’t see Armenia’s being condemned by the international community for these issues as they turned a blind eye to violation of the rights of other nations as well,” he said.
