Armenia's former Defense Minister Arthur Aghabekyan has expressed concerns
over the Azerbaijani armed forces' intensive gunshots across the Line of
Contact, calling for positive action by the Foreign Ministry.
Speaking to Tert.am, Aghabekyan stressed the importance of making the enemy
suppression policies more transparent. In the meantime he considered the
Defense Ministry's attempts to retaliate the enemy not enough.
`The Armenian Armed Forces are capable of that. We also have the necessary
tools to suppress the rival, but I have not idea to what extent they are
being used,' he noted.
Aghabekyan who has taken part in the Nagorno-Karabakh liberation war
recommended against leaving the enemy's gunfire unanswered.
`There is an opinion that this is not the path way to follow as the Foreign
Ministry has to be responsible for the major response. But I think the
Defense Ministry too, should organize the defense more effectively, making
the suppression policies more obvious to the rival,' he noted.
