“In case of any provocation the Defense Army of Nagorno-Karabakh
is ready to contest every inch of ground,” NKR Minister of Defense,
Commander of the Defense Army, Lieutenant-General Seyran Ohanyan said
during the meeting with Armenian journalists.
According to him, the situation at the border is currently calm.
“Fire is sometimes opened at the front line. However, the both
the Officer staff and the soldiers take the shoots calm.” The
Lieutenant-General said, adding that it speaks about the good
moral-psychological state of the NKR Army.
In the Commander’s words, the situation may demand undertaking of
preventive measures.
“When we see that the rival affords violations of different kind,
we should scold,” he said.
Turning to the theme of a thunder war speculated by Azerbaijan,
the Lieutenant General noted that Azerbaijan has no such
opportunity. First, the Armenian positions are protected with a mined
zone, which prevents the enemy’s rapid advance. And the most important
factor is the psychological state of the people.
A reserve call up has been accomplished in the framework of
the large-scale military exercises held for several days in
Nagorno-Karabakh.
