"The National Guard" will remain in the borders until our army becomes stronger, we have always been by the side of our army and soldiers and we will continue to be so today, YCU President Sasun Mikayelyan told reporters, responding to the question of how he feels about the government's decision to shorten the term of military service. "Generally, I cannot assess which is right and which is wrong. The majority of the people are in favor, there are people who are against it. Healthy children should be drafted into the army in order to have a professional army.
Today, unfortunately, our youth is sick, most of them are released from service. The professional army will take place both in the case of 1.5 years and 2 years. Basically, there will be military gatherings, people will serve in positions. This is being done today by the army and it is very welcome.
I don't think that the reduction of the number will cause danger, it is better to have a combat-ready soldier than to have a number. Quality is needed. I am sure that our army is focused on quality," said Sasun Mikayelyan. According to him, the crime of October 27 should be revealed, "especially since the foreign policy course has changed today." According to Mikayelyan, the government's leadership was not decapitated that day, but statehood was undermined and the country went back 50 years.
"Naturally, Vazgen had to be removed from the arena by external forces, by internal forces. If Vazgen was alive, something like this could not have happened with Karabakh. Politics is always forward-looking. During these years, the previous authorities came and looted and the country ended up in this state, we lost Artsakh," he said.
