After the Government sitting today the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Artem Asatryan explained why 64 families of deceased soldiers had been chosen for finding out their social condition, “Those are the families of the servicemen, who were killed from April 1 to 10, but I must note that we later sustained casualties, that is why the activities will continue and the other families will also be included in the research.” Artem Asatryan didn’t agree with the remark that the children from socially disadvantaged families serve on the frontline, “Children from all our families today are serving their duty to the homeland. In general, poverty level in our country makes up 30 percent. They are represented in different sectors- education sector, soldiery etc, so I think it represents the spectrum of society.” In reply to the request by “A1+” to name even one official or millionaire, whose son now serves on the frontline, Artem Asatryan replied, “I don’t have such information to name someone, but I know many public sector officials, whose sons today serve in the RA.”
