/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Presently, I do not see a possibility for
Azerbaijan’s launching hostilities, but as Defense Minister I am ready
for military operations," Armenian Defense Minister Mikael Harutyunyan
said when commenting on frequent publications of Azeri media, which can
be rated as preparation and justification of resumption of hostilities.
Baku’s statements on tension at the border are false.
"If Baku wants to prevent shots it had better control the military
personnel and prohibit them from shooting. Each attempt of the Azeri
side receives an appropriate response," he said adding that our army
is capable to defend Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.
On the whole, the Minister said, such publications are meant for
‘domestic consumers.’
Mikael Harutyunyan refuted his Azeri counterpart Safar Abiyev’s
statement on presence of Iranian citizens in the Armenian army.
"It’s just absurd," RA Minister said, IA Regnum reports.
