    New Problem for Armenian Army

    "On these days our young people had a chance to tell false authorities
    from real heroes who were at the focus of military actions modestly
    and silently, without demonstrative actions." This is from the speech
    made by the minister of defense Seiran Ohanyan on September 1.

    This is about the days when Azerbaijan declared a commando war against
    Armenia, at the same time bombarding and firing at the border villages
    of Armenia.

    Real heroes are the soldiers and commanders who carry out daily
    service at the border and protect Armenia and Artsakh. And who are the
    false heroes? Are they the officials who have not served a single day
    in the army, are involved in campaigns and use the army to get MoD
    medals and awards?

    Aren't the false authorities those who have turned their positions
    into platforms, armor for their own businesses and are increasing
    their wealth at the expense of the army and the society and whose
    inefficient governance has resulted in frequent non-combat deaths and
    whose crime, as a rule, remains undisclosed?

    Recently a serviceman died in the Armenian army and he was not killed
    by the enemy. A criminal case has been launched. During August not
    only did the Armenian army respond to the enemy but also some
    important questions relating to the development and security of the
    Armenian state, its role and importance in geopolitical developments.

    And obviously it is not limited to how the army acts at the border for
    foreign challenges. The Armenian armed forces cannot fulfill their
    role efficiently without internal qualitative changes. The solution of
    problems is not less urgent and relevant than the settlement of
    problems on the border.

    And in this regard, the actions of the army and achievements cannot be
    less eloquent and be inferior to the achievements at the border.
    Difference between results deprives the army of institutional ground.
    And that basis is a key factor of security for both the army and
    national security, in particular, when the armed forces demonstrated
    that it is the only adequate institution that can serve the state and
    public interests in Armenia's public governance system.

    And this supposes not only military-patriotic speeches and complements
    to the army but is also public demand and responsibility before the
    public. There is no other option. Otherwise, internal challenges will
    carry out what the external enemy has not been able to achieve.

    And it is time to get down to serious systemic work. At least, the
    tragic news from the border immediately after the success at the
    border in August was the worst continuation in the army, especially
    with the unprecedented high inspiration and confidence.

    This reserve is always favorable for systemic changes in the army and
    a substantial change. Real heroes are known but they are in the status
    of showcase for false heroes. It is necessary to retrieve them from
    this status and trust them not only in times of crisis, emergency and
    tensions but also bring them to the steering wheel of day-to-day
    governance replacing the false heroes standing there. Missing the
    chance will be equal to criminal inaction which will result in even
    more losses.
