I felt great pain for Mr. Andranik Kocharyan’s careless statement today, and I must emphasize again that our worthy and enlightened boys are serving in the Armenian army, who prefer to do their duty to the motherland even before their studies. Health Minister Anahit Avanesyan wrote on his Facebook page.

“Serving in the army is an honor and a great school of life that cannot be replaced by anything else. Good service to all our soldiers and successful studies to our boys. they are all the pride of our country.

A proud mother of two soldiers,” he said.

To remind, yesterday in the National Assembly, the Chairman of the Committee on Defense and Security Affairs was asked why his son did not serve, to which Andranik Kocharyan said, “My son is a very high-class boy, even if you have his knowledge, you will not serve either,” said the MP in response to the journalist’s question.
