The coordinating council of 'Zinvor' has come up with a new initiative
aimed at supporting conscripts' morale in the army as well as offering
hotline assistance should they encounter problems while in service.
The pocket brochure called 'Remember, you are waited for... we have
nothing dearer than the army' published with this purpose comprises
prayers and wishes to Armenian soldiers, as well as hotline assistance
phone numbers of the coordinating council of 'Zinvor'(Soldier).
The pocketbook will be distributed to soldiers by members of
the council. Founded in 2003 council consists of about 70 NGOs,
representatives of which regularly visit different military units
to monitor and later raise the issues for public discussion through
mass media.
"I assure parents that they may turn to us with any issue, be it
health, criminal, moral-psychological," says Margarita Khachatryan,
head of the coordinating council of 'Zinvor'.
Defense Minister of Armenia Seyran Ohanyan, in his turn, has recently
met parents of soldiers who had been killed in the army. Parents,
who had been protesting in front of the government building, were
assured by the minister that henceforth the cases of soldiers who
had died under suspicious circumstances would be investigated and
the results would be ready soon.
