From July 1-15, 50% of the total number of conscripts have been called-up. From near abroad 35 recruits have been called, and from far abroad (Belgium, USA, Greece) – 7. A feature of this appeal is the fact that a large number of recruits are from large families, i.e., having 4 or more children. Recently, a conscript went to the army who has 7 brothers and 7 sisters.

On July 14, in the pages of the history of international diplomacy it has been registered as the day of a too important achievement: Iran and six superpowers reached an agreement on the controversial Iranian nuclear program.
“The agreement on the Iranian nuclear program is a world-class event. This confirms the status of Iran as a regional power, it holds great promise for both Iran and the countries of the South Caucasus. In geopolitical terms, it will lead to new developments, however, this agreement with Iran at the same time can have a number of unintended consequences, especially in the domestic political field.”

“Always forgive,” said the commander of his military unit, Colonel Amirkhanyan on the second day of his service. And after a while he realized that asking for forgiveness – it’s not a defeat, but a step that strengthens the unity. Forgive and forget, otherwise nothing will work.

One must understand that being surrounded by enemies, life in the border area makes people to be strong, to understand well the price of freedom. Foot of the Turk didn’t enter my village Tegh. Timur Leng approached the villages of Tegh and Khnatsakh, took neighboring village Minkend, but was not able to enter into these two villages. How can I not be proud of my grandfather Bagdasar, who hearing about the atrocities of the Turks in Western Armenia, formed a group and went to defend his countrymen. He died with his squad and was buried in Western Armenia.
