Army and Society
The army is a “breathing” structure, and it is natural that certain problems can be there. Only not working structure has no problems. And if there are apprehensions, basically they are linked with soldier-soldier and officer-soldier relationships. Like the army, this year we have also included Defense Minister’s 2014 message in our program, really, a united fight is needed against street manners.
Army is the main achievement of our independent statehood. Honour and praise to those regiments where our soldiers get education, combat spirit, where under the command of servicemen-patriots our army’s tomorrow is being built.
The birth of the Armenian army – is the fruit of general will, force, devotion, patriotism of our nation. The Armenian army became the adorable son of each Armenian, the whole nation. Flesh and blood to the Armenian army were given by art worker and worker, scientist and peasant, soldier and commander. That’s why creation and making of the army – it is a fete day not only for the servicemen.
Recently charity NGO «Karoti Kanch», which unites the families of soldiers perished in Artsakh war, has organized a 3-day function: visit the regiments in Syounik and Vayots Dzor regiments. The first point was the motorized infantry regiment.
The guests had a walk in the territory of the regiment, visited the renovated medical point, afterwards put flowers at the khachqar – cross-stone which commemorates victims perished in Artsakh war. The guests stayed for night in the regiment and got acquainted with the soldiers’ everyday life.
Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan declared the year of 2014 as year of struggle against street perverse morals. In his New Year Message the Minister mentions that the Armenian is a peaceful, generous man, and it is essential to identify these qualities at home, in the school, universities, in the army and struggle against street perverse morals.
But how to struggle with it at school, how to educate tolerance?
About these we talked with school teachers.
