Commander of a regiment, which stands guard over the section of the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Colonel A.Mouradyan in his talk with “Hay Zinvor” correspondent told that from the enemy’s positions side every day dozens of shot sounds from sniper rifles are heard.

On November 22nd, the birthday of fighter-volunteer Leonid Azgaldyan, who perished on June 21st, 1992 for liberation of Nagorno Karabakh from the Azeri invaders and was аwarded a posthumous decoration of 1st degree “Battle Cross”, the classroom of Basic military training of the school No. 80 after V.Vagharshyan was named after the hero. In this connection a solemn ceremony was organized, and L.Azgaldyan’s comrades-in-arms told schoolchildren their memories about Leonid.

On the opinion of Arabist Nelli Mouradyan, power change in Syria would not result in country’s democratization. Quite the contrary, most probably the Islamists will come to power and chaos would begin in the country.
Today the law guarantees national minorities rights and there is a religious tolerance atmosphere in the country, but in case the Islamists come the attitude towards national and religious minorities would sharply deteriorate. Already now in some places the Islamists utter threats towards Armenians saying: “You came here naked and today you keep us as labourers”.

On the opinion of military expert Artsroun Hovanisyan, after 1994 ceasefire Azerbaijan spent at least 10 billion dollars on armaments purchase, not counting the expenses on military industry. However on this money it purchased basically armaments with life duration of maximum 20-25 years which after some time will become scrap metal. After the Armenian army military parade on September 21st it became evident that Azerbaijan’s attacking potential not only does not have advantage with respect to potential of Armenia but is inferior to it.
