At the initiative of Defense Minister of Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Commander of the NKR Defense Army, Lieutenant General Movses Hakobyan, about 200 conscripts who had distinguished themselves during their military service received the opportunity to meet with their parents and friends in Yerevan.

In the words of Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan, this initiative launched by NKR Defense Ministry jointly with Yerevan municipality will continue, just as traditional trips that servicemen’s parents can make at least twice a year to military units to familiarize themselves with military service conditions on the spot.

By an order of the NKR defense minister, the parents of several servicemen received letters of thanks for their sons’ dedicated service to the Fatherland.

When giving the letters of thanks, Movses Hakobyan said: “The servicemen present in this hall and thousands of young men doing military service are aware that the Fatherland starts with its borders and the more protected the borders, the stronger the state is. It is thanks to this awareness that our state exists and our people live and create even amid a blockade. I consider it an honor to meet with parents who brought up their sons in the spirit of patriotism and sent them to the army. Our army today is strong thanks to them”.

Movses Hakobyan also awarded a medal of the NKR Defense Army to Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan for close cooperation with Defense Ministry of the NKR.
