Armenian deputy defense minister again avoids reporters’ questions

Panorama, Armenia

Deputy Defense Minister of Armenia Arman Sargsyan once again avoided answering journalists' questions in the National Assembly on Friday.

Reporters asked him what reforms have been carried out in the army after the recent war, but the deputy minister did not answer, only noting “everything will change”.

"Once the results are visible, you will see," he said.

Asked how the issue of the Armenian prisoners of war in Azerbaijan is going to be settled, he only said “in favor of the Republic of Armenia.”

Following the question whether he is aware that the soldiers who returned from Azerbaijani captivity were sent back to the military service, the deputy minister closed the door of his office, apologizing to reporters. 

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
