ArmInfo. Vigen Sargsyan, the Minsiter of Defense of Armenia, thinks that the problem of perished servicemen families, 1st grade disabled persons and command staff housing issue should be solved in first priority terms. This was stated by him on April 21 at a press conference held in Yerevan.
He mentioned, that due to President's instruction, the issue of housing in respect to perished servicemen families and 1st grade disabled persons injured during combat actions should be solved until the year of 2019. " We always paid attention to this issue, but now and on our actions will be more active," the Minister ensured. He mentioned also that appropriate lists are modified already and all the beneficiaries know their places well.
"Sometimes there are shifting arrangements related to different circumstances, but I don't think this is related to corruption factors," Sargsyan mentioned adding that the Housing Issues Commission will be in the focus of attention, and in any case of misappropriations or violations all the guilty persons will be strictly punished. There is also a problem existing with none-privatized houses of serviemen, whose number is about 1200, but we think that at least a part of those apartments will be privatized until the end of the year.
