“The Armenian Armed Forces are approaching their 25th jubilee with their head high, while the words ‘Armenian army’ that every Armenian utters with pride reflect our historic dreams and the delight from the victory and years of service full of suffering,” Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan said in his congratulatory remarks at the event marking the 24th anniversary of the Armenian army.

The minister said that 2015 was a year of achievements and qualitative progress. “The year was noted for unprecedented tensions on the border, subversive actions launched by Azerbaijan one after another, and the use of rocket launchers and even tank fire”.

According to Ohanyan, it is thanks to proper implementation of government decisions in diplomatic and military spheres under the guidance of Armenian President, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces Serzh Sargsyan, and also thanks to coordinated actions of the Armenian army that it became possible to give a fitting rebuff to all encroachments of the enemy and prevent an escalation in the armed confrontation.
