    Nagornyy Karabakh's defence army has held a five-day command-staff
    exercise within the framework of planned training events for 2010 in
    order to check the readiness of command and rank-and-file personnel,
    specifically their operational-tactical skills in conditions of full
    combat readiness.

    According to Col T. Khachatryan, the drill showed that "both soldiers
    on combat duty in the trenches and servicemen guarding the rear were
    ready to repel any encroachment by the enemy".

    Col M. Avsharyan added that the servicemen fulfilled all the tasks
    set before them and received due assessments.

    Nagornyy Karabakh's defence minister, Lt-Gen Movses Hakopyan, expressed
    satisfaction with the situation at the contact line [with Azerbaijan]
    and noted that "through drills involving the mobilization of resources,
    the combat command will keep the reserve of the Nagornyy Karabakh
    republic's defence army in a constant state of combat readiness".

    "We have a frontline and a rear, and they are not different from one
    another. There is currently no reason to speak about a renewal of war,
    as since the truce has been signed the situation at the front line
    has not changed in any way," Hakopyan said.

    The minister added that as of today the Karabakh army controls the
    front line more assuredly than it did in the past and that it is
    "taking relevant measures to respond to the steps of the Azerbaijani
    armed forces".
