The RA soldier,
23-year-old Suren Kirakosyan had the right not to take his service in the army
because of health problems but he served fully because of which his diseases
grew more acute.

According to the order made
by the RA MF department of military medicine Kirakosyan does not fit for
military service. But that order wasn’t kept as a result of which the boy tried
to avoid the service. He has been subjected to criminal liability for that for
the second time. He was called up for military service in June, 2010. First
time he was subjected to criminal liability for one year after a month from his
service on October 7.

He was arrested
according to Article 361.4 of the RA Criminal Code which subjects to the
criminal liability the servicemen who serve on the basis of contract for
leaving the military unit or the place of service voluntary as well as for not
coming to the service on time without valid reasons. He served his punishment
in the “Goris” penitentiary institution. On February 14, 2011 he was early
conditionally released.

Then he continued his
service in the same military unit. On September 17, 2011 he went for the next
vocation by the order of the commander of the military unit and didn’t come
back to the military unit after the deadline expired. For that reason a
criminal case was again launched according to Article 361.4 of the RA Criminal
Code. As a measure of restaint again detention was applied towars him by the
Court of General Jurisdiction of Ararat and Vayots Dzor marzes.

“My son tried to avoid
military service for the second time as he is unhealthy and it was initially
written that he fits for military service with some restrictions but he served
like all servicemen” his mother informed www.hra.am.

The dermatologist of
“Goris” medical center L. Harutyunyan wrote that he has inguinal epidermofitia
with weak exematization in left side. The boy has moles on the left shoulder
and on the left part of the chest from birth which cannot be damaged that the
boy shouldn’t carry weapon on his shoulder and wear some military clothes.

 “But they remembered about it when my son’s
mole cracked and grew larger during 11 months of the service. He was even taken
to the RA MF Central Clinical Military Hospital (CCMH) and Institute of
Oncology named after Fanarjyan where he was told to be operated on but they
said they did not know whether he would live or not as after removing the mole
an opposite reaction could begin, that is why my son refused to be operated on”
tells the mother.

The mother asked to
give a vocation to her son to take him to doctors.

“I asked them to let me
cure him myself because in addition to the diseases we found askarits in his
bowels but they didn’t allow and my son decided not to go to the army any
longer. From the place of our residence from the military police of Abovyan 15
people beat me, damaged my tooth and hand, they threw my brother’s son and his
wife, my son made no resistance and gave himself up” tells Kirakosyan’s mother.

On February 24, 2012
the Court of General Jurisdiction of Ararat and Vayots Dzor marzes made a
decision on detention without taking into consideration that the defendant
Kirakosyan asked them to send him to a forensic examination as he had many
health problems because of which he didn’t come to the army.

But the court did not
take it into consideration and decided that he avoided criminal liability, he
was previously condemned so all the materials give sufficient grounds to detain
him to prevent his non adequate behavior.

Kirakosyan’s defender
Mihran Khanamiryan appealed the court’s judgment in the Court of Appeal.

Now the boy is in the
RA MF Central Clinical Hospital, the doctors again suggest operate him but this
time they say he is out of danger.

The mother doesn’t
believe the doctors saying that previously they have said that the operation
would harm the boy’s life. She wants to take him to other doctors but she needs
a special permission which they do not give her.

“I do not know what
else to do. I only know if that mole isn’t damaged by means of carrying a
weapon or wearing military clothes it will certainly restore” the mother is
sure.

She is sure with an
example of her son that the soldiers who suffer from diseases die in the army
or return half healthy as they do not receive 
proper treatment and the parents are deprived from the opportunity to
solve the health problems of their children on their own.
