`The geo-political developments, especially those taking place in our
region, come to show that the use of military force on the path of
settling conflicts is fraught with different consequences,’ Minister of
Defense Seyran Ohanyan announced yesterday.

With regard to the armament of the neighboring state, S. Ohanyan said
that each country arms itself within the limits of its potentials. `We
are not going to be actively involved in the armament race; we have our
plans and are engaged in enlarging and modernizing our armament
reserves. In terms of their fighting capacity and qualitative value,
our troops do not do not fall behind Azerbaijan, which only possesses a
large quantity of armament reserves,’ the Minister added.
