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”.
– Armenia, being the only state among the EAEU countries, bordering with Iran, has all the chances to become a unit that provides economic relations between the Union and Iran. In this context first of all it is about trade and bilateral investments between Iran and the EAEU, for which, I think, a special format will be determined. After all, it is clear that the EAEU can not justify its existence, if will be limited only with itself, and Iranian market with a population of approximately 80mln gives great opportunities to EAEU countries to realize their own products.
Scientific discussions in the Yerevan State University, which were dedicated to living in Turkey ethnic groups of Zaza and Alavi, once again revealed how the Kemal regime managed to pursue a consistent policy of assimilation of these peoples, thereby national, religious and cultural identity of people living in Dersim was almost completely disrupted.
From 15 to 17 October, supported by the Foundation for Assistance to the Opera and the Ministry of Defense, soloists and symphony orchestra gave concerts in the border military units of Tavoush region. It was the initiative of the Opera Directorate and the group “Tigran Davtyan and co.” Concerts were led by the artistic director and chief conductor of the Opera house, Karen Durgaryan. Although these were the first concerts of artists in the army, but they intend to continue this tradition.
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.
