YEREVAN, JULY 2, ARMENPRESS: Defense Minister of Armenia Seyran Ohanyan
gave an interview to official newspaper of Defense ministry of Armenia
"Armenian Soldier". Armenpress partially presents the interview.
- Are all Azerbaijani actions controlled by the centre? I mean the
attacks on Armenian positions.
- Not logical, unnecessary and an end in itself armament creates a
situation when some actions of using a weapon become uncontrollable.
Of course, Azerbaijani aggression of last period was planned and
headed by the centre but it is not excluded that in internal circles
many people are acting themselves and organize armed action against
Armenian frontline forces on their own initiative.
- Mister Minister, when Azerbaijani snipers were active you declared
that Armenia would give "not adequate" answer to each Azerbaijani
aggression. The idea "non adequate response" was liked by the nation.
Today what steps are implemented in order to restrain Azerbaijan?
- Until today our response has not been proportionate and Azerbaijan
had 5 times more losses. Unfortunately, there are shots every day. We
explain those shots by the lack of experience of Azerbaijani soldiers
(hearing some voices they try to defend themselves, shoot because of
fear) as those shots are unaddressed, irregular. We do not answer
them. And to planned actions and precise shots we give strict
response making the opponent to have human and material losses in
multiple honors.
