CALL-UP

Before the winter call-up preparatory works are conducted in the military recruit office. Young men pass a medical examination, and if the recruit has health problems, we send him on patient examination, otherwise immediately provide a registration.
The registration process starts when the boys turn 16. And when they turn 18, again they come to the recruit office, pass a medical examination and then they get recruited. Those who have certain health problems, go to the Republican medical commission and wait for appropriate decision.

Every year at this time preparation for winter is being conducted in the military units. This year, on the order of the Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan, this process began on the 13th and ended on the 28th of October.

The trainings, which are the summer final examinations, were attended by nearly 3000 servicemen, more than 500 units of military and special equipment were involved, including MiG-29 fighters of Russian aviation unit, which are stationed at a military airfield “Erebouni”.

ARMENIA IS AN IMPORTANT REGIONAL UNIT

– Armenia, being the only state among the EAEU countries, bordering with Iran, has all the chances to become a unit that provides economic relations between the Union and Iran. In this context first of all it is about trade and bilateral investments between Iran and the EAEU, for which, I think, a special format will be determined. After all, it is clear that the EAEU can not justify its existence, if will be limited only with itself, and Iranian market with a population of approximately 80mln gives great opportunities to EAEU countries to realize their own products.

TALYSH PEOPLE - IN THE NAME OF THE INDEPENDENT TALYSHISTAN
