Former First Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Armenia, Lieutenant General Tiran Khachatryan says Syunik Province of Armenia might have the same fate as Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) did, Armlur.am reports.

Asked if this is a possibility, Khachatryan said the following: “There is a high probability of war, if security is not ensured, the army is not strengthened, the necessary objectives aren’t met and the capacities aren’t reinforced.”

According to him, even though certain activities have been carried out in this direction over the past year, they are definitely not enough. “We need to show that we are strong and are capable of taking certain actions to give a counterattack,” the army general emphasized.

Asked if Azerbaijan will obtain the corridor that it wants, Khachatryan said he doesn’t think so.
