On August 20-21 Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan visited a number of military units in the northeastern provinces of Armenia. The press service of the Armenian Defense Ministry has told ArmInfo that the minister familiarized himself with the conditions of the units, checked the reliability of the defensive and engineering constructions and gave instructions on further enhancement of combat effectiveness.
"I see no difference between the military servicemen and the residents of the borderline settlements. They are also the soldiers of our country and ensure the country's security", Ohanyan said.
Ohanyan also stressed that the number of tragic incidents caused by hazing dropped in the military units over the past few years.
