Briefing about the security requirements is an integral part of military training to meet the requirements of safety and periodically is carried out during military service.
Taking as a basis the order of the RA Defense Minister of 2011, “Theoretical and practical complex training on security of military service with all personnel of the military unit” are held in each half year twice.
One of the trainings is carried out in the preparatory stage of the half-year under the direction of the unit commander.
Given the security risks of military service, on the decision of the commander each month classes on “Compliance with safety regulations” can be conducted.

In the homeland of my ancestors (villages Jinis, Sogyutlu in Erzurum), I met with the people who now live in a house built by my great-grandfather Isoyan and his brother. The owner Turk Mehedi respectfully invited us into the house, treated with sweet tea, and we handed out gifts to children. It was like a dream – a few days ago I was at my home in Javakhque, and today – here.

RA AF GS Head Colonel General Yu.Khachaturov, AF GS Intelligence Department Head Major General Arshak Karapetyan, school directors, teachers of military training arrived to congratulate the regiment’s staff which is under the command of Colonel Arsen Kotoyan.
During his speech Colonel Kotoyan mentioned that in 2014 by the regiment’s units attempts violation of the state border by the enemy, implementation of sabotage were prevented. For the performance of combat missions and meritorious service 103 servicemen were awarded departmental awards and thanks certificates, and 106 – valuable gifts.

– Over the past two years there have been positive developments in the area of discipline, interpersonal relations, training, as well as social conditions. Already there are two dining rooms, a relaxation area with a computer center, a swimming pool, billiard hall. As for attempts of sabotage by the enemy, I would say that our soldiers have shown themselves heroically. We are strong with our soldiers. The main task set before our regiment is to protect the state border that our guys perform with honor. The enemy understood that he could not succeed.

In 2014 our unit was recognized the best in the military unit. 4 years in a row, our artillery battalion is one of the best in the unit. As part of division 2 consecutive years our second battery was voted the best.

For nearly a quarter century Azerbaijani propaganda is trying to prove to the world that the Armenians organized massacre of Azerbaijanis in Khojaly.
But what really happened?
In Khojaly, mainly inhabited by displaced Meskhetian Turks, was the only aeroprot that connected Artsakh with the outside world. Using the favorable location of the city and proximity to Stepanakert, Azerbaijanis day and night were conducting a continuous fire on the capital of Artsakh. The destruction of these firing points the Karabakh troops have taken on February 26, 1992.
