YEREVAN. – Armenia lags significantly behind many other countries in
terms of the number of women in the army.

Nagorno-Karabakh War veteran, Major General Arkadi Ter-Tadevosyan,
noted the aforesaid during a press conference on Saturday.

In his words, the number of women presently serving in the Armenian
Armed Forces is a mere 1.5-2 percent, against the 10 percent in most
other countries.

Modern military equipment gradually develops in Armenia and women
master this equipment magnificently,’ Ter-Tadevosyan noted.
