Armenia has efficient means of antitank defense, Artsrun Hovhannisyan,
Spokesman for the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, told Tert.am as he
commented on Azerbaijan’s purchase of Turkish antitank guns.

Russia media reported recently that Azerbaijan is purchasing UMTAS
and OMTAS antitank missiles from Turkey. Azerbaijan’s army is testing
them now.

“The data on the paper are very good, but practical use is quite a
different thing,” Hovhannisyan told Tert.am.

“We have many weapons of this type. We also think of developing our
offensive potential, the potential for a preemptive strike. Azerbaijan
purchasing antitank missiles is the best proof of this necessity,”
he added.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
