Congratulating the residents of the new building, Seyran Ohanyan noted that issues of social welfare of servicemen and their families are of high importance for the Defense Ministry, and they remain under the direct control of the leadership. After the handover ceremony, officers hosted the Minister in their new apartments. Seyran Ohanyan was introduced to housing conditions, and expressed his satisfaction noting that newly built apartments are accommodated with all necessary facilities and conditions. From the beginning of 2007 more that 1200 apartments have been constructed and handed over for operation to the war veterans, families of fallen soldiers, and army officers.
