YEREVAN, JUNE 20, NOYAN TAPAN. The parents of the servicemen, who died during military service for a fixed period, staged a protest at the building of the RA government on June 19. They held a placard "Do Not Kill Our Soldiers!" and the photos of their sons. During a talk with reporters, they expressed their discontent with the results of investigation into the deaths of their sons and demanded that those guilty be revealed and punished. The minister of defence Seyran Ohanian spoke with those present. He assured them that the appropriate bodies take steps to disclose the circumstances of their sons' deaths. He proposed that the parents apply in writing to the ministry, gave them some phone numbers and promised to answer their questions in the near future.

However, the demonstrators rejected this proposal.
