Last week, a press conference of NKR Defense Minister, commander of the
Defense Army Lieutenant-General Movses Hakobian, with the participation
of some mass media representatives of Armenia and Artsakh, took place.
Greeting the journalists, the defense minister noted that his meetings
twice a year with representatives of the media had already become a
tradition, at which he presents the results of the army life for six
months and for a year.
According to M. Hakobian, the winter training stage is completed,
and the troops are preparing for the summer training stage.
The Minister of Defense noted that their main goal had been and still
was the security of the Republic's population, adding that for the
Defense Army cease-fire was a relative term.
He also touched upon the nature and essence of information and
economic wars and armed conflicts, noting, as for the latters, that
the situation was under control... Recently, two attempts to penetrate
by enemy subversive groups have been stopped and the number of shots
has been cut in half, thanks to the DA activity.
According to M. Hakobian, serious and effective works have been
conducted at the frontline, in particular, engineering structures
have been built, land mining has been carried out, etc. In short,
everything is done to ensure that soldiers perform their duties
without endangering their life, remaining, at the same time, in the
dominant position and in the role of a mandatory. There is also
progress in the field of military training... In particular, the
tactical exercises, involving the military reserve, were successful,
and the army demonstrated a high level of training. The same can be
said about the command-staff exercises, the armed forces muster in
Artsakh, and a number of other demonstration activities held at the
proper level. All the military units involved in the training received
the rating of "good".
The military training and the processes of retraining and staffing
were continued. In particular, it was noted that 80% of the DA officers
have top military and academic education and the officers of the army
will soon be supplemented with 200 officers with higher education.
According to the minister of defense, the DA replenishment with
weapons and military equipment and the construction of large military
depots were continued. A work on the improvement and stabilization of
the personnel's morale was conducted. Through the introduction of a
number of innovations, tension ease on the positions was recorded. A
new procedure for receiving recruits was established and new methods
of passing from military to civilian life are used.
Compared with the last year, according to the data for the first
half-year, the deaths and injuries from firearms have reduced, which,
according to Lt. Gen. M. Hakobian, is the result of the annual works.
He also noted that they were determined to reduce to zero the incidents
and violations of all kinds.
The Minister of Defense touched upon the reforms, the social and
construction sectors. In particular, he noted that in providing housing
for officers they could not achieve significant breakthrough and were
still searching ways to resolve the issue.
The journalists asked the Minister of Defense dozens of questions
concerning the arms race in Azerbaijan, the recent incident in
Goris related to the DA officer, commander of the military unit
Artak Budaghian. "The military unit commanded by Artak Budaghian was
recognized "the best military unit" at the DA. I still think he is one
of the best commanders and honest servicemen. As for the events, the
law reinforcement bodies and the justice will give their assessment".
There were also questions on the information war and the ratio of the
enemy's forces... Having made a little analytical insight, the defense
minister noted that Azerbaijan was not able to resume the war so far.
The journalists also tried to get first-hand answers to such
problematic questions as compliance with the principle of justice in
acquisition of recruits, suppression of information leakage from the
army, the term of putting the Stepanakert airport into operation, etc.
Members of the media interested in the process of staffing the Army
also contracted, creating disciplinary mouth feasibility of creating
a sports mouth.
The mass media representatives were also interested in the process
of the Army's contractual staffing, creating disciplinary companies,
and the expediency of creating sports companies.
The defense minister gave comprehensive answers to all the questions.
