The heads of the Armenian community of Karabakh and the Armenian armed
forces started joint military exercises in Nagornyy Karabakh
today. Reserve officers are also taking part in the exercises which
will continue until 12 August.

We condemn these exercises as the aggressor country is staging them on
the occupied territory. We know the level of the Armenian armed
forces, and therefore, we know that the exercises will not be
successful, the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry press service has said.
