Armenia’s Defense Ministry has commented on the video released by the Azerbaijani side, which claims that they have positioned 5 kilometers away from the Lake Sevan and have captured a hill.

“The adversary is 30 kilometers away from Lake Sevan in a straight line,” a spokesperson for the Defense Ministry told Armenpress.

“They have not entered the territory of Armenia and have not captured any hill. The hill which is seen in the video is on the borderline. We have positions and conduct service in different sections of that borderline, on different hills,” the Ministry said.

“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
