"Today should be a lesson for us, and learning this lesson, we must
do our best to ensure the development of our people for the country
to be defended," RA Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan said after paying
tribute to the Armenian Genocide victims.
According to him, the current period of history is important and
peculiar for the fact that we have done our best to organize the
protection of people from future challenges. "I think that what is
being done by our state institutions in the direction of recognition
of the Genocide is a rather big progress, and it must continue,"
RA Defense Minister said.
The process of settlement of the Karabakh conflict continues despite
the fact that the country’s image was definitely affected by the
domestic political situation in Armenia. Defense Minister Seyran
Ohanyan said: "I’m heading an agency, which should always be ready
for war to ensure that war does not occur. We must always be ready
for military actions, since we maintain the current balance of forces
and the "no war, no peace" situation due to qualitative changes in our
army. "We should do everything to be ready for everything," he said.
