Ex-President of Armenia: Weak leaders cannot command a victorious army
A victorious army cannot be commanded by weak-willed leaders. And if they are at the helm of the Armenian state, then the army will also suffer defeat.
According to the local edition News.am, such an opinion was expressed by the former President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan in his speech in honor of the Army Day celebrated by Armenian citizens today.
- said the third president of Armenia.
He believes that only its soldiers can selflessly guard the borders of their country. After all, they know that they need to protect their land, their children and parents. Foreign troops, even those belonging to a friendly state, will not do this. It seems that Sargsyan is hinting that, in his opinion, the Russian peacekeeping contingent is not capable of providing Armenia with security. Therefore, the politician believes, Yerevan should develop its own Armed Forces, and not rely on the help of a powerful ally.
And only a strong leadership of the country, says Sargsyan, will be able to make his army invincible.
He is echoed by the former Armenian Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan, who is now engaged in political activities. He believes that the armed forces of Armenia are capable of restoring their lost combat effectiveness.
