They are accompanied with battalion deputy head. They actively talk about everything. Passengers intervene, ask about the situation on the border, about the food … And then suddenly it turns out that today is the birthday of senior sergeant Khachatur Avetisyan, it is his 20th anniversary.

All start to congratulate him, and the mini-bus’s driver finds from somewhere the song “Happy Birthday” and switches it on at full capacity.

– That’s right, Mr.Major! – replies the soldier and smiles shyly.
