Armenian Army Celebrates 15th Birthday

Yes, yes: this happened a few days ago, but yours truly was too busy trying to improve other areas of the blog and fell behind a little bit.

January 28 is the 15th anniversary of the Armenian army. In this connection a number of events have been organized.

"Fifteen years ago it would seem incredible that in such a short spell the groups protecting Artsakh would turn into the strongest army in the region. Today it is a fact which became reality thanks to the effort of thousands of Armenians", Tigran Torosyan said.

"The presence of the army tempered in war and peace is a reason for being proud. I congratulate the Armenian nation and its soldiers on the 15th anniversary of the army, and I pay my tribute of gratitude to the memory of all those Armenians who gave their life for the realization of this dream."

Congratulations to the Armenian Army! Maybe in the next 15 years they can work on decreasing the number of soldiers who either die or become psychologically altered while serving in times of peace. Better yet, maybe they can join the civilized world and end mandatory service.
