ArmInfo.  A stable operational situation was observed at Armenia's borders throughout 2025.

Defense Minister Suren Papikyan stated this at a meeting of the RA  National Assembly Committee on Defense and Security on March 20.

According to him, the calm situation at the border is due to the  agreement with Azerbaijan initialed in Washington on August 8, 2025.  As a result, no fatalities or injuries were recorded as a result of  military action last year.

The minister added that in 2025, work was carried out to certify  military personnel, expand the beneficiaries of the "Fatherland  Defender" program, develop the institution of professional sergeants,  and prepare for the development of new programs. A total of 6,270  military personnel have been certified under the certification  program alone. Since the system's introduction, 73% of all applicants  have passed. Another 1,777 conscripts have participated in the  "Defender of the Fatherland" program, 180 more than in 2024. As of  today, the total number of participants since the program's inception  has exceeded 5,200. The number of professional sergeants also  increased by 120 last year.
