President

19.01.2023
The Third President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan expressed his deep grief and extended condolences to the families, friends, and fellow servicemen of the 15 soldiers who perished in the fire which started in the construction engineering regiment in Gegharkunik, at the N military base of the RA Ministry of Defense. He also wished a speedy recovery to those injured.
President Sargsyan views as extremely important to identify and bring to justice in the shortest possible time all those guilty for criminal negligence and those responsible for leaving the Army unattended, those who are overwhelmed exclusively with a mania of keeping their positions at any cost, including through wasting enormous resources.
The Third President of Armenia views this accident as particularly tragic against the background of the ruling administration’s twaddle on the “unprecedented” reforms, increased spending, and improvements carried out in the Army.
