PanARMENIAN.Net – Armenia will have professional army in future,
once the threat of war is thoroughly eliminated, the chairman of RA
National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Defense, National Security
and Internal Affairs said.
“With no menace of war we shall have a 100% professional army, as
envisaged by the national security strategy of Armenia. Now, we must
call up draftees,” Hrayr Karapetyan told a news conference in Yerevan.
He noted that there already are military units in Armenia with soldiers
and sergeants serving by contract.
