All injured servicemen hospitalized in the Zangezur garrison military hospital after the November 7 military truck crash are in satisfactory state.

Six of the injured have sustained fractures, and two of them are expected to be transported to the central military hospital, the defense ministry said.

Caretaker defense minister Davit Tonoyan has extended condolences to the families of the four servicemen who were killed in the incident. Tonoyan has said that an internal investigation is underway and preliminary results clearly show that a number of severe violations of technical safety precautions and organization of service are among the causes of the fatal crash. Tonoyan said all those responsible for the deadly incident will be brought to account.

“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
