IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO CATCH DEFENSE ARMY BY SURPRISE
Military drills organized by the Army of Defense of Nagorno Karabakh on April 12-20 proved a higher level compared to that of previous years. The exercises of all military unites – from infantry troops to military aviation – were supervised by NKR President Arkady Ghukasian, Armenian and Artsakhi defense ministers, head of Armenian armed forces headquarters Mikael Harutyunian and senior military officials. Serge Sargsian assessed the drills as normal adding that the experts imminent report will highlight the progress in the army. Mikael Harutyunian stated, on his part, that these large-scale drills, that are staged for already 5-6 years, secure higher level of performance emphasizing army’s preparation.
Distinguished unites, commanders and servicemen were presented with gifts and diplomas.
At the meeting with journalists before the final stage of drills, NKR defense minister Seyran Ohanian said the Army of Defense not only readily overcame all tasks but also proved to be able to defend the motherland without the help of a third power. "There is still no need of the third power – a peacekeeping contingent. The Army of Defense is the best power for peace." The minister stated that the most important thing is to feel confident in the face of Azerbaijan’s threats. And they do feel confident. "It’s impossible to catch the Army of Defense by surprise."
As to the borderline incidents, the minister assured that the situation is calm. "Exchange of fire and sniper shots are a usual thing on the borders, and even privates take them quietly." Seyran Ohanian added that the process of mutual concessions is not properly introduced to the public and it indeed needs to be introduced. Asked whether he believes in a settlement this year, the minister said: "We’ll do everything to reach the finish but the settlement depends on the process of negotiations."
