In many countries, soldiers bathe every day. In Armenia, in several African countries and in several underdeveloped countries, they bathe once a week, CP MP Hayk Sargsyan said during a press conference.
According to Sargsyan, he proposed to create an opportunity for the soldiers to bathe every day. “Two years have passed, the situation is the same. Yes, now we have some places where the army can bathe every day, but mostly our boys bathe once a week. Well, let the leadership of the Ministry of Defense take a bath once a week. Let them bathe once a week until the problem is solved, I wonder if they can?”
The deputy said that this is the first time he is making such a public statement.
The Deputy Minister of Defense said in a conversation with journalists that he does not deal with the issue of soldiers bathing, he does not know when they bathe. “I don’t know what Mr. Sargsyan is talking about, we don’t have unwashed soldiers. I do not coordinate that sector, but there has not been any problem in that matter so far.”
