YEREVAN, MAY 9, ARMENPRESS: The Minister of Defense of the Republic of
Armenia Seyran Ohanyan does not exclude that in case of necessity
preventive measures will be implemented against the Azerbaijani
threats. As reported by Armenpress, answering the question – are
preventive actions possible in case of getting information about the
forthcoming attack – the Minister of Defense of Armenia did not
exclude anything.

Concerning the journalist’s opinion that during the latest period
Azerbaijan did not make any threats about settling the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict issue by military way, Seyran Ohanyan stated that he
does not think that Azerbaijan gave up this process: if given an
opportunity `they will again continue’ their threats. `If there is war
situation, we will protect any part of our land by all possible
means’, – said the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Armenia.

As stated by Seyran Ohanyan, the current strength of our army is not
that we have young soldiers, skillful and competent commanders,
contractors having corresponding military skills, but the fact that we
have a more experienced and strong, war-survived army standing next to
our army.
