The situation at the border is relatively calm, the number of shots has decreased, Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan told reporters today.
He said the Armenian side refrains from responding to shots from the Azeri side to avoid tension.
The Minister stressed however, that the Armenian side is always ready to rebuff any assault. “We’re always alert and are always ready to resist any ‘storm’,” he added.
Seyran Ohanyan said that the process of installation of video devises at the border that had started in 2013, has intensified after the military actions in April this year.
“The four-day war showed that the installation of engineering equipment all along the defense line creates conditions for the conduct of contemporary military actions,” the Minister said.
He said more intensive work is being carried out at sections that have undergone changes.
