On the hundredth day of his office NKR Defence Minister Movses Hakobian
held a press conference and said the defense army of NKR fulfils its
goal and provides the security of the borders of the country.
The minister said today the purpose of the defense army is not to
allow the enemy to take the initiative.
"Now our army can sustain the balance of forces on the line of
contact. The foe knows it cannot break the balance.
Otherwise, it would have already attacked," the minister
said. According to Movses Hakobian, the experts who saw the military
installations confirmed that Azerbaijan will lose in case it wages a
war on NKR. Movses Hakobian also said although the name of the armed
force of Karabakh is the defense army, if necessity arises, the army
is ready to launch actions in the rear of the foe. The minister said
the air defense of Karabakh is effective. "Stepanakert will not be
shelled any more," NKR Defence Minister underscored.
