We still do not consider it advisable to abandon the "Pativ Unem" program at once
RA Defense Minister Suren Papikyan did not rule out the continuation of the "Pativ Unem" program.
He announced at the government meeting. "I will not rush to make an assessment now and say that the program "Pativ Unem" will not continue. There are many problems, including many problems of getting an education and becoming unfit for service. But until our new order of replenishment of the officers has yet to bear its fruits, we do not consider it reasonable to give up at once. But the topic is debatable; it can be improved and developed."
RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan added that there are conceptual problems related to that topic, "We have referred to that issue many times." According to him, the officer class in any country is one of the essential pillars of the state.
