NKR Defense Army is in constant combat readiness: Movses Hakobyan

11:20 / 03/05/2010 NKR Defense Army is in constant combat readiness
and can break off encroachments of the enemy at any moment, NKR
Defense Minister Lieutenant General Movses Hakobyan said commenting on
the current situation on NKR Azerbaijani armed forces’ contact line.

According to him, Azerbaijan regularly breaks ceasefire in Karabakh
conflict zone. Last week eighty-seven ceasefire violations from
Azerbaijani side were registered on Karabakh-Azerbaijani contact line.
As a result, NKR Defense Army officer Artyom Sahakyan got injured
during the shoot up on Verin Chaylu.

According to NKR Defense Ministry, since the established truce in May
1994, Azerbaijani side fires at Karabakhi positions from different
small arms and sniper rifles, including RPG-7 and long range rifle
Black Arrow.
