    Armenian defence chief wants strong army for "dignified" Karabakh talks

    Regnum, Moscow
    1 Jul 05

    1 July: In two years the Armenian armed forces will be fully equipped
    with professional officers, Serzh Sarkisyan, secretary of the National
    Security Council and minister of defence, has said in an address to
    graduates of the Vazgen Sarkisyan Military Academy.

    Sarkisyan pointed out that it is necessary to maintain and strengthen
    the combat efficiency of the army. "This will give us an opportunity
    to carry out dignified negotiations with our enemy and achieve a
    solution to the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict that will be favourable
    to our people," Sarkisyan said.

    At the same time, the defence minister said that it was important to
    improve the country's armed forces. "We must strive not to lag behind
    the best armies of the world. We will resolve this task by 2015.
    Remember that the government is able today to supply the Armenian
    armed forces with everything necessary in order to prevail over any
    enemy," he said.

    Three hundred graduates of the military academy received the rank
    of lieutenant today. In line with the defence minister's directive,
    all the graduates were given a rank and a job. Sarkisyan personally
    handed diplomas to the best students.
