/PanARMENIAN.Net/ International peacekeepers are not needed for
resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, major general Arkady
Ter-Tadevosyan (Commandos) told a news conference dedicated to the
Day of Armenian Army.
In discussing the role of international organizations in resolution
of conflicts, maj. gen. Ter-Tadevosyan stated that international
organizations are not capable to observe neutrality.
"Despite the positive image created for international peacekeepers
in Kosovo, their actions were debatable," he remarked.
He also pointed out to the progress fixed in the army
reorganization. "Besides state defense expenses, Armenia receives
military hardware as a CSTO member and also from NATO member states,"
he said.
Commenting on the situation in the units, the major general said that
the soldiers' parents complain about minor everyday problems.
He also emphasized that the new law on compulsory draft of 18-year-old
young men is a dire necessity conditioned by the decrease of birthrate
in 1990ies.
