PanARMENIAN.Net – With fall conscription already started in Armenia,
cases of corruption continue to occur despite the massive preliminary
work, RA Defense Minister said.

Seyran Ohanyan noted that the operating monitoring commission serves
not only the purpose of securing transparency and legitimacy of the
conscription, but also addressing public complaints and problems by
telephone: 52-34-86.

When asked about the tragic cases in the army due to careless handling
of weapons, Defense Minister said that violations of safety rules
are recorded in any army.

Dwelling on flagrant criticism by non-governmental organizations, Mr.

Ohanyan noted that although Defense Ministry stands ready for a public
dialogue, “only military have the right to criticize the army.”
