The month of August has testified the high preparedness of our soldiers both in the military posts and on international plane. In the “Alabino” military training ground, located near Moscow, Armenian soldiers of 19 to 20 years old, brilliantly performed in difficult challenges of tank driving and shooting and overcoming various obstacles they were able to proudly proclaim the names of the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian Army among armed forces of ally and partner countries. Dear tank crew members , amid the tense struggle with 36 competing 36 tank crews, it was your commanders’ professionalism, the targeted and effectively organized crew training combined with our Armenian soldiers capabilities to face various difficulties of tasks they are given, that brought us to this victorious and successful outcome. I want to thank you all for your skills and dedication. I am sure that on this day, it is the wish of each and every soldier of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia to become like you and serve the motherland as you do.
