Baku/08.02.22/Turan: A group of participants in the Second Karabakh war held a protest in front of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration today.
They expressed their dissatisfaction with not being granted veteran status and medals.
"We are all servicemen. We are deprived of the right to veteran status, we have not been given titles, medals. We have repeatedly stated this in our letters to the Commander-in-Chief. Our letters were forwarded to the Defense Ministry where we received a formulaic response," said one of the protesters.
According to the protesters, the Defense Ministry justified the refusal by the fact that they were sent to the war zone after the end of the war on November 10, 2020.
The protesters said they were drafted by mobilization and served from December 2020 in mined areas, encountered enemy sabotage groups and were demobilized in February-March 2021.
There are, according to the protesters, about 3,000 such soldiers.
No comments were received from the Presidential administration. -16D-
