Film director Arshak Zakaryan returned from the military positions of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic a week ago. He went there to talk to soldiers for his new film. One of the soldiers, the 20-year-old son of Karabakh war veteran Pavel Manukyan is guarding our borders today. Mr Manukyan he says he was to be in the trenches instead of his son. Eighteen years ago, when he was fighting for the defense of his motherland, the entire nation stood beside him and his friends while today there is no one to support our soldiers. David Sanasaryan, a member of the Heritage party, served in the border village of Chinari ten years ago. He does not think that today we have a stronger and more efficient army than it was ten years ago. He believes that mature and intelligent men should defend our borders instead of 18-year-olds. At the same time, Mr Sanasaryan offers an alternative option for arming the army. Armenia’s Minister of Defence Seyran Ohanyan does not doubt the efficiency and courage of our soldiers and believes that soldiers who guard our borders day and night are ready to perform their tasks at a high level.
