Public-political figure Arman Saghatelyan posted the following on his Facebook page:

“The former servicemen of Military Unit 51191 of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia have called on their fellow servicemen, as well as all veterans and former servicemen of the Armenian Army to join the rally that will be held in support of the chief of General Staff of the Armed Forces Onik Gasparyan and the Armenian Army near the Ministry of Defense tomorrow at 1 p.m.

Although I have not served under the command of Onik Gasparyan at the specified military unit, I gladly respond to the call and will also be at the rally. Any Armenian who has served in the army can’t be indifferent to the harassment against the army by the lying deserters who have no homeland.

All Armenians who consider themselves a part of the army should be near the Ministry of Defense tomorrow.”
