A former Armenian paramilitary organization that had participated in the war with Azerbaijan said on Monday that it has started recruiting new "volunteers" and asked the Armenian military to authorize their deployment on frontline positions.
Smbat Ayvazian, the head of the Metsn Tigran (Tigran the Great) militia, linked the move with this month's upsurge in fighting along Armenia's border with Azerbaijan and around Nagorno-Karabakh. He said the group has sent a letter to Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian asking the army command to assign specific frontline sections to Metsn Tigran fighters and ensure their interoperability with army units deployed there.
