A draft on the institution of military psychologist position at Azerbaijani Armed Forces has been submitted to the government, military sources told.
After the Cabinet of Ministers passes a relevant decision, new psychologist positions will be instituted at the Army. First of all, psychologists will be recruited for brigades and battalions.
At the initial stage, officers from the armed forces will be appointed after qualification in psychology courses. Recruitment of civilians on this specialty will be also announced. Military psychologists will be prepared at higher military and civilian education institutions.
The Armed Forces consider that creation of military psychologist position will reduce the number of negative cases, especially suicides.
