Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan has said the situation at
the border is tense, but under control.

“The situation at the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and the line of
contact between the armed forces of Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan
is tense, the number of ceasefire violations and shots increases
every day,” Minister Ohanyan said.

“But the Armenian forces keep control of the situation both in Artsakh
and the frontline villages of Armenia,” he added.

The Minister said “the Armenian side gives a worthy response to some
provocations of the rival.”

Seyran Ohanyan made the remarks at Yerablur. A number of high-ranking
officials visited the Military Pantheon today to pay tribute to the
memory of former Defense Minister Vazgen Sargsyan on his 56thbirthday.
