. | I was often beaten and hear bad language. Illness and death cases occur more among soldiers. When you want ordinary medicine, they say “wait, you will be given as soon as it is brought from abroad.” Therefore, I could not stand any more and broke out of the military unit. I lost the way when I was trying to pass Armenia, and Azeri soldiers captured me. I have been living a capture life for many days. I cannot return to Armenia any more, I fear they would kill me. |
Armenian Army soldier Ashaturyan Ambarsum Mnakovich, who has given himself up to Azerbaijani side recently, wrote to his mother living in Lipetsk city of Russia. APA has got the letter written in Armenian.
The following is the full text of the letter:
“Dear mother, I think you are informed about my state. I had no one to take care about me in Armenia. I was sent to serve in Mardakert region of Nagorno Karabakh. And my hard days started by that. The commanders treated me badly from the very day. I must say in Armenia, Karabagh-Armenians treat local residents the same bad way they do in Karabkh, even worse than that.
I was often beaten and hear bad language. Illness and death cases occur more among soldiers. When you want ordinary medicine, they say “wait, you will be given as soon as it is brought from abroad.” Therefore, I could not stand any more and broke out of the military unit. I lost the way when I was trying to pass Armenia, and Azeri soldiers captured me. I have been living a capture life for many days. I cannot return to Armenia any more, I fear they would kill me.
So, I want to get to you. Please, talk to officials in Russia to help me. Try to often contact the Committee of the Red Cross, they can probably repatriate me to a third country. Good bye, mum. Tell my sister not to miss me. I am in good condition here. I am supplied with food and water in time. Yours, Ashaturyan Ambarsum Mnakovich.”
