A new special body will be created in the Ministry of Defense in the near future to carry out the new function, the spokesperson for Armenian Defense Ministry Artsrun Hovhannisyan told reporters on Friday.

“You are well aware that the Defense Ministry deals with social, financial and health issues of veterans, participants in the Karabakh war, former military personnel, and reserve troops. We will have a new body, which will be called the Main Directorate for Social, Health Protection of Military Personnel and Veterans,” he said.
