/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Karabakh Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian called
Azerbaijan to put an end to provocation. “Adhering to the peaceful
settlement of the Karabakh conflict we call the Azerbaijani leadership
to be mote considerate and undertake measures to alleviate tension
at the contact line. This provocation policy is useful neither for
our people nor for Azeris”, Seyran Ohanian stated when commenting on
the situation at the contact line of the Karabakh and Azeri armed
forces. The Minister noted that the Azeri side is creating tension
trying to advance its positions. At that he reported that the NKR
Defense Army undertakes appropriate measures to secure the front
line. “The defensive capacity of our army is at a proper level and
we are ready to provide security of our country and people”, Seyran
Ohanian said. In his words, since 1994 Azerbaijan has been making
anti-Armenian statements in an attempt to mislead the international
community.
