THERE ARE CASES OF EXCHANGE OF FIRE ON RA BORDERS, BUT SITUATION IS
UNDER CONTROL, HEAD OF RA ARMED FORCES GENERAL HEADQUARTERS SAYS
YEREVAN, MARCH 6, NOYAN TAPAN. There are cases of exchange of fire on
the RA borders, but on the whole the situation is under control. Seyran
Ohanian, the Head of the RA Armed Forces General Headquarters, stated
at the March 6 press conference.
According to him, violations of the ceasefire regime are committed
almost every day, and in the recent days fires were shot in
Noyemberian, Tavush, Ararat, and Vayk border regions.
Touching upon the incidents that took place near the village of
Levonarkh, NKR Martakert region, S. Ohanian said that at the moment the
situation is controlled there by the Karabakh Armed Forces. In his
words, the defence zone controlled by the defence army has the
respective engineering structures, but nevertheless there is a
possibility of carrying out provocation in some places. He reminded to
journalists that violating the ceasefire conditions, early in the
morning of March 4 the Azeri subdivisions attacked and partly seized
one of the Armenian strong points, the staff of which at first
retreated and then repulsed the enemy. He said than when carrying out
the martial task both sides used artillery, as well as big-calibre
arms. As a result of the military operations the Armenian side had two
injured and the Azeri side large losses. According to the Head of the
RA Armed Forces General Headquarters, if the attacks were on the part
of Armenia, our losses would be more.
S. Ohanian said that the foundation anniversary of rifle brigade N 703
of Azeri Armed Forces was marked on March 4, and it is not excluded
that the provocation was organized not by Baku, but had a local
character. According to him, the Azeri leadership is carrying out
investigation in this connection.
S. Ohanian expressed the hope that an investigation of the incident
will be carried out on the spot with the participation of international
structures.
