On November 28, 2009 HCA Vanadzor applied to the Minister of Defence related to the health problems of soldier Grigor Hakobyan.
His mother, who is from the village of Hoghmik in Shirak fegion, informed us that her son was asked to come to the military commissariat on April 15, 2009. According to the results of the local medical examination it was decided that on May 17, 2009 G. Hakobyan would go to serve in the army. However, on that day he was sent to the orthopedic hospital of Yerevan to undergo medical examination. Though according to the medical conclusion, he has health problems, he was sent to Sisian for military service on June 8.
On July 15, he was taken to Meghri and then he started to complain about his health. Afterwards, he was taken to the hospital of Sisian. According to his parent, the commander told her that their son pretended in order to be taken to another battalion.
On September 12, the soldier was taken to the military hospital in Yerevan. He was examined again, but nothing changed and then he was again taken to the army. Then G. Hakobyan was taken to “Kanaz” hospital and then to the army again.
HCA Vanadzor informed the Minister of Defence that the medical conclusions were not provided to the soldier or his parents and that the soldier was recognized fit for military service with health problems. Therefore, we asked the Minister of Defence to assist in organizing additional medical examination and solving the solder’s health problems and then define whether or not he is fit for military service.
