NKR DEFENSE MINISTER CALLED AZERBAIJAN TO STOP PROVOCATION

PanARMENIAN.Net - Karabakh Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian called Azerbaijan to put an end to provocation. "Adhering to the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict we call the Azerbaijani leadership to be mote considerate and undertake measures to alleviate tension at the contact line. This provocation policy is useful neither for our people nor for Azeris", Seyran Ohanian stated when commenting on the situation at the contact line of the Karabakh and Azeri armed forces. The Minister noted that the Azeri side is creating tension trying to advance its positions. At that he reported that the NKR Defense Army undertakes appropriate measures to secure the front line. "The defensive capacity of our army is at a proper level and we are ready to provide security of our country and people", Seyran Ohanian said. In his words, since 1994 Azerbaijan has been making anti-Armenian statements in an attempt to mislead the international community.
