"The Armenian air defense system will ensure the security of the
civilian aircrafts flying from Stepanakert," Armenian Defense Minister
Seyran Ohnayan told a press conference today, adding that "the threats
of Azerbaijan contradict the international civil aviation norms."
As for the possibility of resumption of military actions, the Minister
said the threat is still there, but the analysis of the situation
shows that the possibility of war is not probable at this point.
Summing up the results of 2012, Seyran Ohanya said great attention
was paid to the combat readiness of the army and the raise of the
defense capacity at the military positions. Programs were implemented
to improve the security environment around the country. In particular,
progress was registered in the relations with NATO, CSTO, a number
of European structures.
According to Minister Ohanyan, 2012 was rich in border incidents;
about twenty subversive acts were prevented over the year. The Minister
said "the courage of our servicemen at the line of contact should be
a contagious example for all."
The struggle against corruption and vicious phenomena remains a
priority for the Ministry of Defense, Seyran Ohanyan said.
The Defense Minister handed certificates and medals to a number of
media representatives. Our colleague Karen Ghazaryan was awarded with
Garegin Nzhdeh Medal of the Ministry of Defense.
