the Armed Forces of Armenia, and those forces that are called upon to
ensure the security of the country. When asked what danger should be
in order to activate the united grouping of troops, as today the
Tavush direction of the state border, Nakhijevan, Makaryan in
particular, is under fire, said: "I would like to emphasize once again
that we will apply all our forces and means to any threats threatening
the territory of Armenia from any side. "

the combined troops will be involved, or the war must be officially
declared, Makaryan stressed that the answer to this question will be
given by the political leadership of the country, not the military,
