Still are fresh the impressions of those days when we all were celebrating the victory of our tankers in international competition “Tank biathlon – 2014.” Empower was really limitless. All talked about them. It seems that during this time much is written about our boys who participated in the competition, however, I think that they deserve it. They are worthy not only because of the fact that they won the newest type of tank, but especially for the fact that with their victory, they sent a simple but at the same time a powerful message.

Tomorrow for the first time I will go up to combat post, that’s why I’m very inspired. After all, come to serve and not go up on a position? And then what’s the point?
The backbone of our army is a soldier who is on positions. I told my friends: if suddenly as a result of the draw I get on urban military unit, I’ll ask to send me to the front line. There were people who did not understand me, saying, “What, are you crazy?” And I said, “Yes, I’m crazy, and will defend the Fatherland on the border!”

Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Kirakosyan is one of the first graduates of the Military Institute after Vazgen Sargsyan. As people say, like his five fingers he knows all the abilities of the tank, its strengths and weaknesses.
Recently one of the tank crews of the regiment was named the best crew of the military unit and will participate in the All-Army Tank competition, which is held in the armed forces of Armenia.

Sr. Lieutenant Vaheh Ispiryan “warned” that he’ll come to our editor to refute widespread false belief about his regiment. He is the commander of platoon and exercises military duty in the regiment “Deer”.

During the competition “Hercules”, militarymen of various military units competed to win the title of the best.

The purpose of the assignment is to identify the skills of the best trained soldiers of the armed forces, through special assignments to enhance their tactical skills, theoretical and practical knowledge, the level of methodical preparation, improve practical skills in the direction of planning, organization and implementation of combat missions, training of military personnel for independent combat mission in emergency situations, to develop the skills to overcome obstacles and perform decisive action.

Azerbaijan continues to use the entire arsenal of military rhetoric: the arms race, sabotage, armed clashes on the border, trying to create the illusion of impossible resolution of the Karabakh issue through negotiations. However, expectations of Baku – to gain unilateral compromises and solve the Karabakh problem in his favor from a position of strength, is absurd, since Armenian army, unlike Azerbaijan’s army, arms effectively and from the point of view of logic and is ready to give a powerful and worthy blow to the enemy.

For courage in the defense of the state border company commander Sr. Lieutenant Zorick GEVORGIAN posthumously awarded the Order “Battle Cross” of 2nd degree and the medal “For Courage”.
Hero was awarded the rank of captain.
