Armenian Government, Military To Simulate Response To War

Armenia's armed forces and other state structures will simulate a general mobilization for a full-scale war in unprecedented exercises that will take place later this month, Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian announced on Thursday.

Ohanian said the command-and-staff exercises scheduled for June 25-27 will test the country's combat-readiness through mock decrees to be issued by President Serzh Sarkisian. Top military and civilian officials will practice "the launch of the state-military state system at a time of war and the organization of resistance to aggression," he said during a weekly cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian.

"I would ask all governing bodies to issue appropriate instructions, to prepare relevant officials because we will be practicing Armenia's placement on high military alert," Ohanian told fellow ministers.
