MILIITARY PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION

INSTITUTE OF MILITARY PRIESTS AS THE MEANS OF SPIRTUAL EDUCATION OF MILITARY MEN

R. V. HARUTYUNYAN, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Docent

SUMMARY

Moral-psychological condition of military men, degree of comprehension of the debt before the native land and the people plays an important role for maintenance of high battle readiness of troops. For education at military men to correctly value orientation the institute of the army priests should and can play an essential role, the creation of which in Armed Forces of RA is an absolute must.

With formation of this institute it is necessary to lean both on historical experience of the Armenian people, and on modern experience of activity of the army priests (chaplains) in the armed forces of the leading countries of world community.

Historical example for organization of a service of military clergy can become activity of a hero of Avarayr battle in 451 deacon Ghevond, activity of bishops Garegin Hovsepyan and Mesrop, archimandrite Zaven, priests Hovhannes, Zachar, Saak, Grigor, Komitas and others in fateful battles for the Armenian people in May 1918. They not only inspired fighters on feats, but also took part in combats themselves. The considerable contribution to contribution to successful outcome of struggle of the defense counsels of Artsakh against aggression by Azerbaijan in the beginning of 90-s of our century was brought by a spirtual leader of Artsakh archbishop Pargev.

As an example for study of modern experience of organization of a service of military clergy can be army of Great Britain. This service organized still in 1796, nowadays consists of 400 chaplains. Their duty involves assistance to servicemen leaving for religious ceremonies, spiritiual protection, helping to overcome spiritual crises connected not only with adaption to military conditions, but also with demobilization of military men, especially those, who have taken part in battle actions.
