tendencies to develop. "Compared to recent months, tension decrease
has been registered, in particular, shooting from the weapons of
various calibers reduced, although the situation is periodically
escalated. But if we compare the situation with the April events, then
the tension decreased for several times, the subversive actions taken
by the adversary ceased. The previous attempt of sabotage penetration
was registered in February this year, "NKR Defense department head

At the same time, General-Lieutenant stressed that Armenian said tries
to respond to Azerbaijani armed forces to discourage them from hunt
for new attempts, that is the damage done to them, was substantially
greater than they could cause themselves. "Of course, Azerbaijan will

inflict damage on us, and we, in turn, will give an adequate response,
and if necessary, when necessary, we will give the final blow",
Mnatsakanyan said.
