I don't want to comment on this article. I only want to suggest that the RECORDER pays more attention to spellings and grammar in all its articles. It's not too bad, but could be much better if a second check could be made before publishing. You could use automatic Spelling and Grammar Checkers to facilitate this process.
Thank you.
Excellent mark for the organization of the golden jubilee of the armed forces. This popular feast led to powerful and rich presidential acts, which will last in the memories of the people of this region. A bundle of strong emotions: from the creation of the university through the facilitation of rank change in for officers of the armed forces not forgetting the gift from the first lady who built the school of champions in the region, the list is long. The region thanks the presidential couple.
