    Armenian soldier: "I call on all Armenian soldiers to flee the
    country"

    12 March 2009 [11:01] - Today.Az

    Armenian soldier Paruyr Stepanyan who fled Armenia last year in
    protest of widespread violence and tyranny in the Armenian Army has
    gained 24 kg weight, according to ANS Press.

    Armenian soldier Paruyr Stepanyan who fled his country in 2008 in
    protest against widespread violence and tyranny in the Armenian Army
    has been handed to the third country in accordance with his own
    will. He said in his interview with ANS TV shortly before his
    departure that he spent a very pleasant year in Azerbaijan stressing
    that he did not even feel how the days passed. `I didn't quite feel I
    was an imprisoner thanks to the people dealing with me. They developed
    a special program for me. I was watching TV and even walking out. I
    was also provided with plenty of food," Armenian soldier said.

    Stepanyan who was only 48-kg in weight now added up to 24 kilos. He
    now weighs 72 kg. He also sent a message to a newly conscripted
    Armenian soldiers. `I call on them to pass to the Azerbaijani
    territory. I already know how hospitable Azerbaijani people are. They
    will get here everything they want to. I'm absolutely sure of that,'
    Stepanyan noted.

    "I call on them to flee Armenia. Because they will forcibly be taken
    to the army and Daqliq Qarabaq. People don't want to fight. I lived in
    Armenia myself. I know what is happening in the country. People don't
    think about war. All Qarabaq Armenians have gathered in Yerevan. They
    kill the local Armenians. Because, the leaders of the country are also
    Qarabaqi Armenians. People perfectly understand that they can't live
    in such a country', he said.

    Stepanyan says Armenians should make a decision about their future and
    should throw their weapons off and return the occupied territories to
    their true owners. He believes Armenia might develop only after taking
    that step. He preferred to keep it secret to which country he was
    going to. `I regret I can`t answer your question. It is connected with
    my security. You know that there is a terrorist organization called
    `ASALA'. Therefore I'm concerned about my safety." Stepanyan said.
