ARF-D REP ON ARMENIA'S ARMY
Tert.am
26.01.12
It was due to the Armenian army that Armenia gained the most glorious
victory in its modern history, Hrair Karapetyan, Chairman of the
Standing Committee on Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs
and member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun
(ARF-D), told journalists Jan 26.
"The army is Armenia's most fully developed structure, able to
accomplish tasks set to it and defend the Motherland's borders. The
army is constantly being reformed," Karapertyan said. A number of
significant amendments have been made to the Law on Military Service
over the past years, he added.
A new draft of Army Rules will soon be submitted to Armenia's
parliament, Karapetyan said.
"Law was not often effective, which caused army incidents. It was
not effective because it was lacking. Servicemen were guided by the
Armenian government's decisions. Officers must be well aware of their
duties, and soldiers must be able to defend their rights."
Many countries are well informed about the Armenian army's efficiency.
Armenian peacekeepers showed exemplary behavior and efficiency in
Kosovo and Afghanistan.
Armenian servicemen often showed the best results during military
maneuvers of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO),
Karapetyan concluded.
