Artsakh Defense Minister, Lieutenant General Levon Mnatsakanyan received a group of MPs from Armenia’s National Assembly.

Referring to last year’s military actions unleashed by Azerbaijan, Minister Mnatsakanyan described them as “mass attack by Azerbaijan against Artsakh, taking into consideration the involvement of special forces, the large quantity of armor units, the use of rocket and artillery weapons, up-to-date technologies.”

Levon Mnatsakanyan presented the post-April work, noting that comprehensive analysis has been carried out, the complex of actions carried out to eliminate the gaps and shortcomings.

Describing today’s situation on the frontline as “stably controlled,” the  Minister assured that “the Defense Army is able to give an adequate response to the provocations of the rival and is ready to resort to offensive actions, based on the situation.”

The Army chief responded to the lawmakers’ questions related to the engineering equipment at the frontline, the innovations used in the army, the capacities and effectiveness of video surveillance systems.

Emil Lazarian: “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
