7 cases of death were recorded in the armed forces of Armenia in  August alone - Human Rights Activist

ArmInfo. 7 cases of death of servicemen were recorded in the armed forces of Armenia in August of this year alone. Human Rights Activist Artur Sakunts stated on  August 23 during discussions on the topic "Mortality in the army, why  nothing changes".

According to him, the death of three of them was associated with the  presence of health problems, in one case a murder was recorded, and  in three cases the violation of the ceasefire led to the death of  soldiers. The 

Human Rights Activist emphasized that the death or loose of each of  these soldiers should be the subject of extraordinary investigations.  In particular, it is important to study the state of medical  services, the security of military positions, the level of discipline  in the armed forces, the relevant orders, etc. 

As Sakunts stressed, all these issues must be resolved, since a  person fulfills his obligations, and the state must have its own  obligations so that a person's life is safe. "In conditions when the  service of a soldier, his safety is not ensured at the proper level,  in this case, of course, there are signs to which there are  practically no responses," the human rights activist noted. 

 He stressed that over the past months, the country's armed forces  recorded 40 death cases in the Armed Forces, 14 of which were not  officially published. Meanwhile, the state is obliged not only to  provide relevant information, but also to provide explanations. "It  is not enough to refute them, since in this case we are talking about  attempts to evade responsibility," Sakunts said, adding that the  defense department had to conduct internal investigations in each of  these cases and notify the public about their results, giving  explanations.
