PRESIDENT’S SONS ALSO IN THE ARMY

>From a year or two boys born in 1990s will also go to the army. It is
known that the mortality rate was low at that period. How will Serzh
Sargsyan, defense minister of Armenia, tackle that problem? Sargsyan
assured they have deliberated on the issue and know concrete
mechanisms. `The decline cannot be fatal,’ he said. `We will try not
to put the problems of the army on the shoulders of the society. We
will try not to press those people who do not think that protection of
motherland is their problem,’ the minister said, asked if the students
on academic year-off will also be called to the army. Defense minister
said that two sons of Robert Kocharyan are also in the army right
now. `Both sons are serving in the army and have no problems with the
service,’ he said.
