Chairman of the NA standing committee on defense and security Hrair Karapetyan today touched upon the murders of soldiers in peace and the assaults against them.

"Nobody doubts that the Armenian army is the most efficient in the region, but we would like to see the most important lever of society strike the eye with its discipline." According to him, the first thing the army needs is law-enforcement, and the society should take on the role of a father.

Republican (HHK) MP Karen Avagyan is certain that the RA Defense Minister shouldn't explain to soldiers that five people can't beat a person to death.

"We should look at reality straight in the eye. Our children are serving in the army," said Avagyan, adding that the army is a part of society and its issues concern all of us.

HHK MP Karine Atchemyan touched upon the NKR conflict settlement today. Touching upon Azerbaijan's announcements that the document on the basic principles wasn't signed after the meeting in Kazan because of the Armenian side, she said:

"Instead of preparing its society for a peaceful resolution of the conflict, Azerbaijan is currently instilling hostility toward the Armenians. We hope that Azerbaijan will start treating the conflict settlement more seriously soon."

HHK speaker Eduard Sharmazanov continued and mentioned that unlike Azerbaijan, the NKR is a developed country and can't form a part of Azerbaijan. He voiced hope that all of Armenia's political forces unite for the NK conflict settlement and international recognition of the NKR's independence.

Independent MP Victor Dallakyan dedicated his announcement to the Wikileaks revelations regarding Armenia. He assured that they were linked to the upcoming parliamentary elections and that foreign powers would have their impact on them. "There may be an opportunity to hold democratic elections and not elections at the level of gladiators."
