After the independence of Armenia and the establishment of the army the types of troops of armed forces began to form, among them – the Signal Corps. In the difficult days of the Artsakh war Signal Department was created.
In 1992 when the course of military operations in the north of Artsakh dictated the need for major structural changes in the Self-Defense Forces, which implies changes also in the organization of communication, our signalers honorably fulfilled their tasks.

Regardless of what prompted the suicide of a soldier, the size of responsibility of the military unit’s authorities does not diminish, and after the completion of the internal investigation all commanders will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Those soldiers that are held in a criminal case will be prosecuted, and those who are accused of negligence in the line of duty, will be subjected to severe disciplinary action or to be relieved of their duties.

Believe me it will not lead to any positive results. Either common sense and a desire for peace must be tantamount otherwise xenophobia will deepen as will the war rhetoric and deadly provocations provoked by Azerbaijan.
