Armenia prepares for war

Military training of reservists, unprecedented in scale, continues in Armenia. The first stage began on August 25 for a period of three months, the second three-month training stage starts on September 15. Thus, it is planned to “fire” several thousand reservists by the end of the year, Sputnik Armenia reports.

Former career officer, military observer Narek Nersisyan notes that there have been no gatherings of this magnitude in Armenia for 15 years, although the law on defense establishes a mandatory condition to hold gatherings annually. Nevertheless, the defense budget did not have a separate item for spending on military training. And now, when the authorities have decided to make up for lost time, many are surprised by the current scale of fees.

“But I must say that nothing extraordinary is happening, Armenia is still in a state of war. From a military-political and even scientific point of view, the war ends only when one of the parties wins. Of course, we have suffered serious human and territorial losses (occupied since 1993 the territory of Azerbaijan – Turan), but the war has not ended. From this point of view, such fees should not frighten or surprise anyone,” Nersisyan said in an interview with Sputnik Armenia.

The expert considers it necessary to intensify these exercises, bringing them as close as possible to the conditions of a real battle.-
