After welcoming the guest, Seyran Ohanyan, emphasized the importance of the visit and said that the spiritual service of the Armed Forces has great importance in the daily life of the army. The Minister noted that the exchange of experience in this field with the European countries is very important, especially because Armenian and German officers carry out a joint peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan. Joachim Simon expressed his gratitude for the reception and said that there are many similarities in the spiritual services of the two countries` armed forces, so the exchange of experience can be productive for both sides.
