Chairman of the Public Council at the Armenian Defense Ministry Gegham Harutyunyan stressed the importance of military-patriotic education of youth, noting drawbacks regarding the issue in Armenian society.

“Competition between nations continues. Unfortunately, in our case, it bears a hostile character by two of our neighbors,” he said at the opening of the conference titled “approaches to military-patriotic education.”

Dwelling on the conference itself, Mr. Harutyunyan underscored the importance of the subject.

“Patriotism is the biggest manifestations of human morality,” he concluded.
