Karabakh war veterans meet with deputy defense minister Tonoyan

A group of Karabakh war veterans led by retired Colonel Volodya Avetisian met today with Deputy Defense Minister of Armenia David Tonoyan and members of the commission set up for solution of veterans’ problems. The meeting took place in the Defense Ministry. V. Avetisian told Aysor.am: “We are satisfied with the meeting. They understand our demands and problems and are ready to help us. Prior to that, we met the minister of labor and social affairs. He also offered help, but in order to receive it, it is necessary to make the lists of veterans more accurate. The Defense Ministry will help us in this matter,” the colonel said.

According to him, the whole package of proposals made by Karabakh war veterans was discussed at the meeting with David Tonoyan today.

“The law on voluntary military service and our pensions were among the issues discussed. We have to wait for ten days, until some inaccuracies are eliminated. Then a small group of veterans will meet with Tonoyan again,” Avetisian said. He stressed that Karabakh war veterans believe that their problems will be solved.
