The mother of an Armenian fallen soldier has died from coronavirus at the 20th week of pregnancy, the Ministry of Health said on Friday.

"We are deeply saddened to inform you that the mother of a serviceman killed in the 44-day war has died from Covid-19 at the 20th week of pregnancy," the ministry said in a Facebook post.

It noted that the medical workers did everything possible to save her life, but failed to do so.

Expressing condolences to the woman's relatives, many social media users, however, condemned the health authorities for stressing the fact that the woman had lost her son to the war.

“Look at these bastards! Failing the fight against Covid, now they are manipulating the issue of a fallen soldier’s pregnant mother,” expert on Azerbaijan Angela Elibegova wrote, accusing the ministry of ethics violation.
