Singer Nune Yesayan can not prevent Armenian soldiers` killing by fellow servicemen.
SocietySome time ago a group of well-known Armenian singers released a statement addressed to the European Broadcasting Union and the Armenian Public TV Company saying they decline from participating in the Eurovision Song Contest-2012 to take place in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The statement came after Armenia’s Defense Ministry reported that on Feb. 23 an Armenian conscript was shot dead by an Azerbaijani sniper in the North-Eastern province of Tavush. But yesterday it was officially confirmed that on Feb. 23, Armenian soldier Albert Adibekyan 20, serving in Tavush region's Chinari village's defensive positions, was killed by his fellow serviceman and not by Azeri sniper.
Will the Armenian singers` approach change after this statement? LURER.com had a talk with singer Nune Yesayan, who said in her speech, "Does it mean that the singers must go to Azerbaijan? It has no connection with the decision. If that day, at that moment, that soldier did not die like this, does this mean that we should go? And other soldiers who die?"
And to the question whether the singer was not going to undertake measures to prevent the killing of soldiers in Armenian army by another Armenian servicemen, the singer said, "I can do nothing. The person should be educated from school and family before going to army to understand why he goes to army. To understand that he is not going there for cursing, killing, but for quite different purposes - that is to serve. It means that before going to army the person should clearly understand where he goes."
