YEREVAN. – Armenia’s Armed Forces are not only the guarantors of the country’s security, but also a factor for regional stability and balance, Yerevan State Medical University Rector Derenik Dumanyan on Saturday noted during the University’s conference, on military medical service in Armenia, which is devoted to the 20th anniversary of the country’s Armed Forces

Noting that, the establishment of the military medical service is one of Armenia’s accomplishments after its independence, Dumanyan added that the country is not only an international consumer, but it also partakes in international peacekeeping missions.     

“We commenced the [Karabakh] War, which was imposed upon us, with hunting rifles and Soviet-era weapons. [But] Now, our country successfully develops its military industry,” Derenik Dumanyan recalled.
