On the 22nd of December, 2009 in one of the RA AF military-units the opening and anointment ceremony of the St. Karapet chapel took place. The Minister of Defence Seyran Oahanyan, Chief of the RA AF GS, Colonel-General Yuri Khachaturov, high ranked militants, the staff of the military-unit and some guests were present at the ceremony.

The presence of such chapels and sanctuaries in military-units contributes greatly to the spiritual and military-patriotic education of the soldiers. And for this purpose recently much work has been done in the AF. The anointment of the chapel was done by the AF patriarch Ter Vrtanes bishop Abrahamyan.
