Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan’s address “The army is our home, our fortress, in our fort – with our rules…” from the first to the last word is a sermon to be kind, tolerant, compassionate to the pain of others, and it is addressed to Armenian parents, teacher, person: “I am confident that these problems will be settled down if we’ll be able to wake up in our generation tolerance, kindness, compliance especially to his Armenian compatriot”.

On September 20th Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan received participants of the 5th All-Armenian Forum Armenia-Diaspora.
The Minister proposed two formulas of cooperation: “1. If necessary, to turn the army into a 10 million nation-wide army, and 2. Establish a sound security system, where each person with his work can help neutralize the dangers. Armenia is our centre, here we get united, that’s why applying educational, scientific, financial, moral support of Diaspora, we must make sure that the threat evaporated before reaching the spot”.

On the occasion of the 23rd anniversary of independence of the Republic of Armenia Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan met with faculty and students of the State Medical University after Mkhitar Heratsi. He presented the work done in the RA Armed Forces in 2014 and mentioned that the focus has been and remains on a full Border Service and to make combat duty safer.

How many generations dreamed about independence, how many people put their heads in the name of this idea, how many brave Armenian warriors served in other armies and dreamed of their army, to give their knowledge, experience and courage to the service of their own army. Now this dream has fulfilled.

Regular readers of “Hay Zinvor” were pleasantly surprised by a photograph of a young mother of two soldiers from Vanadzor Karineh Qocharyan, on whose head was a wreath of wildflowers. The photo was on the cover of the previous issue of our newspaper, and at the bottom – her words: “… Oh, how I love my state KING-MOTHER!”

Our army’s victory was not by chance, that was a natural phenomenon, regularity, so we have to figure it out all the time and do not be surprised by our courage, all the time should not admire the courage of our soldiers.
Our media should not repeat the style of Azerbaijanis, that is the style of the defeated side, and must abandon the “pleasure” to humiliate, offend the enemy, his soldier, authorities. This behavior does not fit the victorious country… After the war and the victory we should be in the position of the winner: decent, generous and forgiving.

It was a few months ago. At the same moment my elder son-soldier from North-East regiment and my younger son-soldier from South-East regiment called me. I didn’t know whom to listen, with whom to talk?
I said: “My sons, you don’t call, you don’t c all and suddenly you call me at the same time. Now what shall I do? Whom shall I talk with?”
