From the point of view of protection of human rights in the armed forces there is number of problems, which are caused by the specifics of military service. It is primarily on the legal regulation between servicemen. On the other hand it is necessary to ascertain the low level of legal awareness among the military and the lack of legal knowledge. A desire to restore this level will make the military more secure.

Before the winter call-up preparatory works are conducted in the military recruit office. Young men pass a medical examination, and if the recruit has health problems, we send him on patient examination, otherwise immediately provide a registration.
The registration process starts when the boys turn 16. And when they turn 18, again they come to the recruit office, pass a medical examination and then they get recruited. Those who have certain health problems, go to the Republican medical commission and wait for appropriate decision.

Seasonal maintenance of weapons and military equipment is important both for their smooth operation and to ensure the longevity of their use. Every year at this time preparation for winter is being conducted in the military units. This year, on the order of the Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan, this process began on the 13th and ended on the 28th of October.

From 13 to 19 October in the alpine complexes of Armenia “Kamkhud” and “Alagyaz” military exercises were conducted including all the military units of Russian bases of the Southern Military District.
The trainings, which are the summer final examinations, were attended by nearly 3000 servicemen, more than 500 units of military and special equipment were involved, including MiG-29 fighters of Russian aviation unit, which are stationed at a military airfield “Erebouni”.

To maximize the efficiency and quality of the upcoming call, we have implemented a number of measures. We conduct explanatory advocacy among the population, carry out registration and postscript so that during the winter call we avoid losses of military resources as much as possible and solve the problems of treatment of conscripts on time.
For the first time during the winter conscription recruits receive preventive injections before call-up, which will allow to pass adaptation period in calmer conditions and without complications.

According to the summer educational period preparation plan, artillery sub-units of the regiment under the command of Colonel S.Minasyan, which protects north-east borders of our country, since September 26 were included in camp trainings. Their main aim is to improve proficiency of artillery sub-units and strengthen professional, physical and moral-psychological qualities of the personnel in situations as much as possible close to the fighting.

In July and August the scene of the enemy raiding parties were also the north-eastern borders of our country. As a result, by competent actions of our soldiers, who defend fighting positions, the enemy had more than a dozen killed and as many wounded.
These events have shown once again that our armed forces with its organization, moral-psychological condition and combat training are superior to enemy and able to prevent any encroachment around the perimeter of the border.
Recently Colonel Onick Gasparyan by RA President’s Decree was awarded a medal of the first degree “For Service to the Fatherland.”
