General Fled After Seeing 50 Soldiers Stand Against 500, Says Relative of Missing Serviceman

Relatives of missing servicemen are gathered near the Ministry of Defense. One parent stated that their sons were without body armor and helmets, adding that instead of being taken to the right, they were led to the left. “After that, they are trying to take Arsen Abgaryan to safety. Abgaryan says, 'Mr. General, we have no type of ammunition, helmets, or bulletproof vests, where should we go?' The general replied that they should go, and he would follow with ammunition, bulletproof vests, and helmets. He was putting the boys in the vehicles.

The general comes and sees that 50 people are standing against 500. From there, the general flees. If the general flees, what should the officers do? We ask that general why he did not go to help the boys, and he says, 'If I had gone, I would have been shot too.'
