Armenian Health Minister Arsen Torosyan issued a congratulatory message to military doctors on the occasion of their professional holiday.

"You have gone through a difficult road on the road to building Armenian statehood, and you continue to do your job properly today, too" the message reads in part. "You are on the frontlines day and night alongside our soldiers, and if necessary, you are one of the first to provide medical assistance to the civilian population, too."
