YEREVAN, May 4. /ARKA/. Armenia’s Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan
has commented on the resignation of the RA Deputy Defense Minister
Gurgen Melkonyan.

"The main reason for Melkonyan’s retirement was that he had held this
position for a long time," the Minister said.

Officials must no way hold the same posts for a long time, as this
can cause tenseness and relax vigilance, according to Ohanyan. -0–
