“DO NOT FEEL PITY FOR OUR SERVICEMEN”
Support A1+!“Brutality, corruption and murder are widely spread in the RA army,” says Greta Mirzoyan, the Chairwoman of “Soldier's Mother” NGO. Many servicemen have to pay great sums to avoid severe beating.
We encounter this phenomenon especially in the medium layer-among officers. High-rank officials get high salaries and are not interested in such things, Greta Mirzoyan told A1+.
A lot has changed in the army nowadays. Today servicemen are aware of their rights and disobey their superiors, she says.
The NGO has come up a “migration” project regarding overseas Armenians’ recruitment. Most of them have Armenian residence permit and are eligible for army but de facto live abroad. The issue should be considered in higher bodies.
