Widowed woman holds protest outside government
The relatives of pilots who died in a crash in the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2001 have lost every hope that their voice will be heard one day.
Although the government today held its outgoing session in Armavir, a western province in Armenia, Larisa Ohanyan, the widow of pilot Hamlet Ohanyan, was again outside the government building, demanding the wages of 66 months.
By a court decision, the Armenian Airlines Company is obliged to pay the mother for feeding the four underage children until their adulthood. Government officials informed the disparate mother that the bankrupted company had lands and would be able to compensate the money after the sale of the property.
"My children do not care whether they have lands or not. We want to receive our monthly payment in the amount of 45 000 drams. I have no one else to turn for help. I have pawned my house to get money for my children's education and now I have lost it," says Larisa Ohanyan.
