Armenia’s Tavush District in Noyemberyan Region came under fire from
assault rifles from the Azerbaijani positions in the past 24 hours.
The Armenian side returned fire and it all ended, the chief of the
General Staff of the Armenian armed forces, Col-Gen Mikael Arutyunyan,
told journalists today. He stressed that the overall situation on the
Armenian-Azerbaijani border is more or less quite.

Commenting on the peaceful situation along the border as a result of
the balance of power, he said that had the Armenian army been weaker
than the Azerbaijani army, the war would have started a long time ago.

Whoever starts the war first will lose, the chief of the General Staff
of the Armenian armed forces said.
