No traces from bullets on Armenian defense minister’s helicopter –
press secretary
YEREVAN. May 20
The Armenian media reported on Monday Azeri shooting at the helicopter
of Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian.
The media said the incident happened on Sunday afternoon when the
minister was flying to Yerevan from a military unit deployed in
northeastern Armenia near the border with Azerbaijan.
No traces from bullets have been found on the helicopter, the
minister’s press secretary Artsrun Hovannisian told reporters.
“I cannot say whether the minister’s helicopter came under fire or
not. But I can assure you no traces of bullets were found on the
helicopter,” Hovannisian said.
He was asked whether such incidents had happened before. “The minister
visits the frontline rather frequently, so such incidents have
happened before,” he said.
