On June 21, a graduation ceremony was held at Kaliningrad Border Guard Institute of the Russian Federation Federal Security Service, attended by Colonel Samvel Azizyan, Deputy Commander of the RA NSS Border Guard Troops.

On behalf of Commander of Border Guard Troops, the RA NSS leading staff and on his own behalf, Colonel S. Azizyan congratulated the graduates on the first officer rank and noted that several generations of Armenian officers, graduating from Russian prestigious professional universities, properly guard the border of their homeland and occupy high positions.

It should be noted that three of four students representing Armenia were the only graduates from different countries to have been awarded diplomas of excellence and gold medals. In graduates’ opinion, officer rank should first be earned not only with good education but also with faithful service.
