One of the ways to solve the current problems in the Armenian army is establishment of a military Ombudsman’s Institute, Chairman of the Armenian NA Standing Committee on Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs Hrayr Karapetyan told a press conference on Monday.

According to the parliamentarian, it is impossible to solve all the problems in a day, as the army is the mirror of the society.  Today there are officers in the Armenian army, who do not deserve their titles. Karapetyan referred to the corruption as a rooted negative factor in the army. “There are officers involved in corruption, humiliating and abusing soldiers. In spite of their performed great services for their homeland, these officers should be deprived of their titles. Those, who had struggled for Nagorno-Karabakh, should not think there is permissiveness for them. On the contrary, their conduct should serve an example for the servicemen,” the MP said.

Karapetyan stressed today reforms are implemented in the Armenian army and it is in a recovery stage.
