Armenian Defense Minister meets Karabakh volunteers

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia's Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan met with commanders of a number of volunteer detachments that participated in the military actions in early April.

Azerbaijan on April 2 launched an overt offensive against Nagorno Karabakh, with hundreds of soldiers and civilians reported killed on both sides as a result. The parties reached a verbal deal on the cessation of hostilities in Moscow on April 5.

At the meeting, Ohanyan hailed the role that volunteers played both during the Karabakh war back in the 1990s and the four-day clashes in April.

The Defense Minister addressed the issue of granting status of participant of military actions to volunteers who have taken part in the four-day war.

Also, they agreed on the importance of always presenting the activities of military actions participants to the society.
