The issue needs to be solved through cooperation with the command, and I don’t rule out changes of personnel. This is what Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Alen Simonyan told reporters today as he touched upon the rise in the number of murders and suicides in the army in peaceful conditions.

“I can’t speak on behalf of the Prime Minister, but I’m sure the government will take actions. We can always justify or explain in a certain way, but the actions need to be drastic in order to rule out such cases,” the deputy parliamentary speaker said.

When asked about the necessary steps, Simonyan said there are various reasons for certain cases and that both the command and the society need to deal with this issue so that we know that our soldiers must feel safe.
