    MIXED RECRUITMENT TO REMAIN DOMINATING PRINCIPLE IN ARMY - MINISTER

    Mixed recruitment will remain a dominating principle in the Armed
    Forces of Armenia, the Defense Minister has said.

    Seyran Ohanyan made the statement on Tuesday as he visited a military
    unit in the north-east of Armenia.

    "Along with conscripts, we are also increasing the number of contract
    servicemen," the minister told the reporters accompanying him.

    He said the development of the system would pave way for building a
    professional army. In that context he particularly noted that contract
    service implies involvement of skilled young people into the army, a
    factor that can help solve the social problems of contract servicemen
    themselves.

    Speaking of other major achievements, the minister pointed out to
    the modernization and enrichment of military supplies.

    "We are modernizing our military equipment, increasing our fighting
    capacity. Besides it is also very important to improve discipline and
    order," he said, adding that a number of reforms have been implemented
    in the military in the past two years.

    "An Armenian soldier guards his borders with honor, as he did during
    the war in Artsakh [Karabakh]," Ohanyan added.
