The English transcription of Armenian words is needed here instead of a transliteration. Please move the article to Sarkisian. Only people who know Armenian can understand the correct English pronunciation of “Sargsyan”. Thank you.
I think this article needs some NPOVings especially in the unsourced part of "After the 1994 Karabakh ceasefire... etc". In the mid'1990s he disliked the political opposition but the only obvious fact of oppression where he participated was that of Sept.25, 1997 (during a meeting).

I offer to correct "national ferment" to "national revival" that I think is more understandable and it was what we experienced.-- Zara-arush ( talk) 21:45, 15 July 2009 (UTC) To write: "as he flung himself headlong into political life" is too general, a commonplace, because both his activities and character are diverse.-- Zara-arush ( talk) 21:55, 15 July 2009 (UTC) It would be better to translate "Yerkrapah" as "People's Volunteer Corps", instead of giving word-for-word translation for better understanding-- Zara-arush ( talk) 22:47, 15 July 2009 (UTC).

The lead is superb. The one cause for alteration I detected was the following: "Today, his contribution to the establishment of an independent Armenian state and ensuring its security are greatly valued." I am sure that his contributions are valued as stated, but you must provide reference of this. I understand that the following sentences, regarding his decorations and nominal memorandums, do so. Even still, an inline citation of his contributions must be visible to the reader.
"...with the Armenian Komsomol award." Could elaborate on the official title he received?
First off, the name of this section is off-putting. Maybe you should remove movement from the title?
"The Armenian national awakening led him into political life." To refer to the looming surge in nationalism as a "reawakening" is subjective.
"...led him into political life." Who is "him"? A reader would not be able to answer that question as you have not yet defined who "him" would refer. One would assume Sargsyan, but this assumption is turbid. Please replace "him" with Sargsyan in this sentence.
"Vazgen Sargsyan joined..." In accordance to the above changes, the full name can be altered to read "he".
"...two groups..." Countries instead of groups.
"...condemning the advantage of the Armenians." Advancement, maybe? Incursion?
"comparable in efficiency to the Soviet Army." I find it hard to believe that a nascent, albeit well trained and equipped, could possibly be comparative to the world's most powerful military force. From what source did this information hail from?
All else is fine. Excellent section!
Of all the Soviet successor states, 'Armenia was the only state that managed to build a combat-capable army from scratch' (Baev 2007: 253), one that was 'comparable in efficiency to the Soviet Army' (Fairbanks 1996: 136, see also Herzig 2005: 167-8) This army was institutionally united and highly bonded both with the regime and society. The cohesion was forged largely due to the war with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh and the inferior material capabilities that Armenia possessed at the time (Herzig 1999: 55).
And don't forget that Armenia, a country of 3 million, defeated Azerbaijan with a population of over 6 million.-- Երևանցի talk 19:59, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
I will stop here to allow you deference to address the proposed amendments. All the images are suitable insofar, aside from the Armenian army patch and the signature. They need copyright tags. QatarStarsLeague ( talk) 18:31, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
A pass here, excellently sourced. Along with the rest of the article. A magnificent, consummate job on this topic. I can see an onerous amount of work went into this article, and it shows. Congratulations! QatarStarsLeague ( talk) 20:59, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
