Army general Movses Hakobyan today told Armenian News-NEWS.am that the situation needs to be assessed correctly in order to empower the army.
He also congratulated all Armenians on the 29th anniversary of the formation of the Armenian Army and said the following: “I wish that the army gets out of the current situation very quickly. Our army needs to make a comeback and achieve victories. All us Armenians need to support the empowerment of our army.”
Touching upon the statements on the provision of weapons to citizens, Hakobyan said there has to be a relevant decision, adding that he isn’t against that.
Asked if Armenia’s borders are protected today, the army general said the following: “I’m afraid to give an evaluation of that. All Armenians, including Armenians in Artsakh and the Diaspora are in danger. If Armenians abroad don’t have a place to call their homeland, their security is also at risk in their respective countries of residence.”
