Caretaker defense minister Davit Tonoyan has fired several military commanders in connection with the deadly military truck crash that took place earlier in November.

Several others have been sanctioned with disciplinary actions, defense ministry spokesperson Artsrun Hovhannisyan said on Facebook.

At the same time, Hovhannisyan said that these sanctions do not relieve those responsible from possible criminal liability if found guilty.

“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
