IT IS NOT FOR MILITARY MEN TO ANSWER QUESTION IF KARABAKH WAR CAN BE RESUMED: ARMENIAN DEPUTY DM
YEREVAN, MARCH 28. ARMINFO. It is not for military men to answer the
question if the Karabakh war can be resumed, says Armenian Deputy
Defence Minister Artur Agabekyan while commenting on the growing
number of skirmishes on the Armenian-Azeri contact line.
He refutes the reports that young people are not allowed to leave
Armenia. He admits that there is certain “activity” on the contact
line but it is due to spring engineering work (digging of trenches)
and also to the constant bellicose rhetoric from Baku. There has
always been exchange of fire – if the Azeris fired at the Armenians,
the Armenians responded – “as we cannot allow them to fire at our
positions.” “Our military men serve perfectly and are always ready
to rebuff any local or large-scale attack,” says Agabekyan.
