On the 15th of October, 2010 ARM MoD Seyran Ohanyan received the representative of the OSCE Yerevan office, ambassador Sergey Kapinos.
In the beginning of the meeting the Minister thanked the OSCE Yerevan office for periodical methodological assistance to the ARM MoD. In his turn the ambassador presented the Minister a number of constructive suggestions regarding the broadening of the ARM AF reforms, military-political and civil control over the AF, human rights protection in the AF, and the volume of the OSCE assistance in reforming the armament sector.

Seyran Ohanyan expressed his concern about the increase of the recent border incidents. The Minister particularly stated that albeit Armenia’s suggestion to remove the snipers from the contact line and the urges of the international community, Azerbaijan continues ignoring the famous humanitarian norms, by periodically breaking the armistice. Thus, the ARM MoD will have to dramatically stricter its actions aimed at neutralizing the Azerbaijani snipers. Ambassador Kapinos promised to inform the situation to the OSCE leaders. The meeting was in a cnstructive atmosphere. The two sides agreed to realize the discussed matters by programs implemented in different spheres of defence reforms.
