ArmInfo. A group of participants in the 44-day Karabakh war held a protest in front of the building of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry. According to Turan, the servicemen expressed dissatisfaction with the deprivation of their military awards.
"Our merits were not appreciated, despite the instruction of President Ilham Aliyev to reward the war veterans, to show them attention, to show concern. Those who served in the rear received medals, but they forgot about us, "said one of the protesters.
A representative of the Ministry of Defense, who met with the protesters, promised to investigate the issue. The protest ended without incident.
