Here is a documentary produced by Armenian state television about the Great Armenian military leader and Nationalist thinker Gagegin Njteh, which a former member of this forum sent to me via email. It is an interesting look into the early days during the foundation of the Armenian fighting forces.

I particularly enjoyed the scene near the end, where after having seen only footage of the Armenian irregular fighters which Njteh commanded, we see a portion of the Hero's remains being given a proper burial by officers of the professional Armed Forces of the today's Republic of Armenia. Enjoy:

PS does anyone know of similar documentaries, maybe on other leaders such as General Andranik, Dro, etc.?

They have got a good idea , no ?

Baku. Rashad Suleymanov – APA. Draft age may be increased in Azerbaijan.



APA exclusively reports quoting its military sources that currently, this issue is being discussed at the Armed Forces and the other government agencies.

It is offered to increase draft age to 19 or 20, there are some common views on this issue.

The proposal is attributed to the fact that 18-year-old men are inexperienced, are not physically or psychologically prepared. The practices of other countries have been studied. It has been found out that some negative cases in the military service happened with the participation of new soldiers.

The abovementioned proposals will be likely discussed in the parliament this year.

I think that 18 is too young. Not only for the reasons cited in apa , but also because if someone is studying and then need to go to the army he will forget everything before he even come back to home. And for many other reasons too. What do you think ?

+Azerbaijan purchased a great deal of weapons and military equipments from Israel last year

These ammunitions include machine guns, rifles, communications devices, missile and unmanned systems



Baku. Rashad Suleymanov – APA. Azerbaijan purchased weapons and military equipments from Israel. APA reports quoting its military sources that according to the contracts signed between the two countries, a great deal of small arms, communications devices, missile and unmanned systems has been purchased from Israel.



The small arms purchased from Israel last year include UZI machine pistols, various modifications of TAR-21 “Tavor” assault rifle, Negev light machine guns, sniper rifles, missile complexes, artillery systems with various calibers and command and control systems.



Moreover, Azerbaijan along with Israel’s “Aeronautics” company produced “Orbiter 2M” and “Aerostar” unmanned systems in the country in 2012 and also purchased “Heron” and “Hermes-900” new unmanned systems from Israel’s “Elbit Systems”. The delivery of the rest of the orders will be continued in 2013.

Azerbaijan and Israel signed a contract in 2011on the sale of weapons and military equipments worth $1.6 billion. Azerbaijan purchased the products from mainly “Elbit Systems”, “Rafael”, IWI and IMI companies.
