MISSIVE OF DEFENSE MINISTER SEYRAN OHANYAN ON THE OCCASION OF THE 1ST OF SEPTEMBER

My dear compatriots!

The Day of knowledge is one of the most important and cherished holidays for our people.

“Schools are natural lines of fortifications “- once said one of our elders. For me and for each soldier the classroom is tomorrow’s platoon, the school – tomorrow’s large regiment, i.e. today’s schoolchild is the tomorrow of the Armenian army and eventually the army is the continuation of the school.

… On different parts of the front line the further exacerbation of the situation has come to an end only because of brilliantly implemented deterrent effect actions of units of the Armenian army.

… Recent incidents have once again proved the excellent preparation of not only special forces, but also all kinds of divisions of troops and commanders of all units, and as a whole the high level of the educational process in the armed forces.

… I thank also NGO-s and political parties for the activity and support in these difficult days.

Volunteer or soldier of the Armenian Army, a journalist or intellectual, public or political, culture figures, government or opposition, i.e. all sectors of society are always together when the Motherland is in danger …
