Armenian minister unruffled by Turkish attack on Iraq

[Presenter] Touching on the deployment of Turkish troops near the
Iraqi-Turkish border, Armenian Defence Minister Mikayel Harutyunyan
said today that Turkey’s attack on Iraq is not desirable. However,
our borders are well-defended and Armenia is following events in the
region, he added.

[Harutyunyan] The Russian border guards defend our border with
Turkey. Certainly, we will follow events happening there and we
should be ready for everything. I am sure that these decisions [by
Turkey] have nothing to do with Armenia, but we should always be
ready.
