Since November 17, our army will move to the new winter uniform. It has definitely changed, became warmer and more comfortable.
This uniform, designed for a soldier, from time to time is subject to both external and qualitative changes, based only on the interests of the soldier. The uniform must not only comply with the weather conditions, but also should be more durable, comfortable, not to hinder the movements of the soldier. I.e. on the uniform nothing is done by chance.
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.
Today great importance is given to military and combat knowledge.

Towards the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, Armenian writer from Istanbul, journalist, publicist Etienne Mahchupyan was appointed chief adviser to the Prime Minister of Turkey.
