The number of Azeri soldiers in the territory of Armenia does not exceed 1000, head of the chief operative department of the Armenian Armed Forces, deputy chief of General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces Mayor-General Edward Asryan told the reporters today.

He said these 1000 servicemen do not have opportunity to fulfill serious tasks in our territory.

“If to give military solution to the issue, these 1,000 servicemen cannot leave our territory, they will all be eliminated – indiscriminately,” Asryan said.
