Armenian army was shaken by a mutiny. Contract soldiers in the N military unit in Ararat province of the country threw down their arms and refused to fulfill order of commanders on September 10, APA reports quoting the Armenian newspapers.

The contract soldiers demanded a gas-stove to make a meal during the combat duty, but the commander didn’t allow because it was against the rules of combat duty and fire security, information and public relations department of the Armenian defense ministry reported. The soldiers protested the commanders’ decision.

Representatives of the joint army command visited the military unit to investigate the incident. After the talks with the personnel the problem was solved. “The contract soldiers of the N military unit continue their service”, the defense ministry reported.
