YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS: "The image of brute and rude
military officers in the Armenian military forces should be changed
and a new model of service for military officers should be formed. We
still have the stereotype that a strong, efficiently acting military
officer cannot have a mild disposition. The activities of the Defense
Ministry of Armenia are aimed at these system changes. Certainly
this is the main issue which leads to tragic events," Davit Jamalyan,
military expert, reported Armenpress commenting on the case of death
of Aghasi Abrahamyan, private soldier serving in one of the military
units of the Nagorno Karabakh.
On August 26 Aghasi Abrahamyan was moved to hospital and died there.
Traces of an outer force were revealed in the result of a forensic
examination of his body. A criminal case has been instituted on this
matter. 3 military officers and a private have been detained.
Davit Jamalyan says time is needed for system changes and improving
of the moral-psychological image. "The wish and demand of all of us
is to have an army, which will not have military officers with such
an image. Works are under way in this direction." He said the recent
tragic event was a sad blow to everyone. "We are decisive in this
matter, as the punishment of several of persons will settle this
issue. In this regard I consider the public attitude, the active
response towards the case of death of Aghasi Abrahamyan quite
positive," he said.
Davit Jamalyan urged the society to be attentive in its descriptions
in order not to extend the "vector of complaint" to the entire army,
to the image of the military staff of the Armed Forces.
