14:40 * 09.08.14
In an interview with Tert.am, a Defense Ministry official said that
many Armenians from diaspora communities have expressed willingness to
join the defense operations on frontlines of Armenia and
Nagorno-Karabakh amid the continuing armed tension.
Major-General Vardan Avetisyan, who heads the Ministry's Public
Relations Department, said many now look forward to a decision or
permission to travel to Armenia.
"Most different specialists have applied, naturally for heading to the
frontline; the volunteers are first of all participants of the
[Karabakh] liberation war. Narrow specialists - mainly from the
technology, communications and IT sector - have applied to us.
Thousands of our compatriots from the Diaspora too, have expressed
willingness to visit Armenia to head to the frontline. They only wait
for a corresponding decision or permission to arrive in their
homeland," he said, noting that the national armed forces are not now
in an urgent need for replenishment.
Avetisyan considered the expression of such willingness an encouraging
factor and a good moral support for the Armenian soldier.
"The commander and soldier standing on the frontline receives an
unimaginable power from our compatriots' willingness to be next to
them. The mere realization of the fact that an Armenian living in
another part of the world is ready to leave his family, work and warm
cornet to stand by the soldier in the trenches makes our servicemen
enthusiastic," he added.
