YEREVAN, MAY 25, ARMENPRESS: RA Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan and
Healthcare Minister Harutyun Kushkyan visited today the Armenian state
assembly point. The Ministers toured in the assembly point, talked
to draftees, got acquainted with their problems and state of health.
Harutyun Kushkyan reported journalists at the briefing that such visits
will become a tradition and that their visits are aimed at carrying
out the medical examination of draftees and those to be called up
for military service with high quality and for administering proper
treatment, if needed. 'We want our young men to be healthy when
entering the army.
We should go on propagandizing the healthy lifestyle. As doctors, we
must do our best to keep the young away from diseases,' the Healthcare
Minister said. He added that the surveys showed heart trouble is a
common phenomenon among the youth. He said he is sure the reasons
will be studied for the future prevention of the disease. RA Defense
Minister Seyran Ohanyan mentioned about RA President's assignment,
according to which the works on drafting must be carried out more
carefully and accurately. 'It is evident that citizens of Armenia are
sending their sons to the army more proudly and responsibly; they are
giving banquets on that occasion. We welcome their trust to the army,'
the Defense Minister said. He added that the Armenians should be more
careful about issues on the defense of their country, as they live
in such a region. He says some favorable and necessary conditions are
created in the military units for ensuring medical services properly.
'We all want the medical personnel to be professional, so we carry
out works in this direction as well,' Seyran Ohanyan said. By the
Minister's assessment, the drafting has been overfulfilled in recent
years. During the spring draft three draftees were sent back for
being examined once again.
