ARMENIAN GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO ADOPT MILITARY-ORIENTED REFORMS – EX-POLICE CHIEF
12:13 * 22.01.15
The Azerbaijani military’s intensified aggression, observed over
the recent period, should push the Armenian government to military
reforms according to a former chief of the police.
In an interview with Tert.am , Suren Abrahamyan, who is now a member
of the ruling Republican Party’s political vody, stressed the need of
directing the state administration system and economy to the military
component and pursuing policies of self-reliance in resisting external
challenges.
“These recent developments, especially since last summer, were almost
military operations – not large-scale, of course, but next to ones –
so our [authorities] really have serious measures to take. I think
that apart from active the diplomatic and political efforts and work
with the international community, it is necessary to also put the state
administration system and economy on military rails. That’s where all
the developments lead to; so without raising any turmoil and panic,
wearing camouflage or going into trenches, we need to draw serious
conclusions, relying on ourselves and offering the our best support
to the army.
“The entire society and the state administration system must be
put on military rails to become part of our everyday life. Today,
the Armenian soldier is actually alone in resisting all challenges,
so we all have to be part of all this,” he said.
