After Ilham Aliyev’s re-election series of interesting developments happened. After 2 days of CEC’s statement on election’s results the Constitutional Court confirmed them and the same day Aliyev’s inauguration took place in the Azerbaijan parliament. Such a haste is very comic. Azerbaijan’s CEC and CC didn’t study opposition’s complaints which they had to during 14 days. The ceremony of inauguration was conducted without participation of any foreign ambassador, diplomat or guest, it was not even aired on TV.

The President awarded the MOD servicemen below, in recognition of their courage and personal bravery manifested while carrying out their official duties:

Each young man serving in Karvachar speaks proudly about his regiment. Here all are friends and brothers. This is a real combat brotherhood. You assess the combat brotherhood of Armenian soldiers higher when you see the reality in the Azerbaijan army.
The enemy knows that the Armenian soldier would never attack first, would never open fire without any reason. That’s why sometimes they come out of shelter and with their each step try to provoke our soldiers.

I came to my Homeland. Came and said – I want to serve in Armenia. It was really a difficult and hard period. There was no army, everything was created from zero. I am a serviceman loving discipline, and here… bearded fellows around with different characters, mentality, education. However we all were united with one aim – to eliminate the enemy.

Already it is so many years all our nation celebrate the Day of Sardarapat heroic battle. I consider this day as one of the most important national and state holidays, – says Rafael Mesropyan, military teacher of “Mkhitar Sebastatsy” educational complex, former liberation-warrior.
When we were studying the history of Sardarapat battle, we decided to go and respect the memory of perished heroes who put the basis of our independence in the early 20th century.

When Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan visited the eastern regiment, he met also with the people and authorities of the community. Being the community head, I raised a few issues.
Our village Vahan is a bordering frontier village and has a heroic biography. It resisted heroically during the Artsakh war. However now our main task is to leave our youth in the village, don’t hamper our eastern borders of young and strong hands.

On the way to Karvachar district centre it is written with big letters: “Karvachar – Armenian Fort”. And that’s right! The main thing is that our servicemen think the same. The territory which is under their responsibility they consider as a real fort which if necessary can give shelter to peaceful people and break attacking enemy’s spin.
