ARMENIAN TROOPS REBUFFED SUCCESSFULLY AZERI SUBVERSIVE ACTS: MINISTER SAYS
YEREVAN, January 18. / ARKA /. In 2012 Armenian armed forces rebuffed
successfully all the provocations of the enemy, Armenian defense
minister Seyran Ohanyan, said today. He said the personnel performed
the combat tasks with least losses, preventing the penetration of
sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the enemy.
He said the past year was marked by an extremely tense situation
on the line of contact between Armenian and Azerbaijani troops. He
added that the Azeri armed forces conducted subversive acts not only
against Nagorno-Karabakh forces, but also against Armenian troops on
the north of the country.
The minister said this prompted Armenian military command to improve
the engineering structures along the border, revise combating sabotage
and reconnaissance groups of the enemy, improve combat tactics and
so on.
"We held several military exercises with the participation of small
units to improve their combat skills," he said.
Last summer clashes were reported between Armenian and Azeri troops
on Armenian-Azerbaijani border and on the line of contact between
Karabakh and Azeri troops resulting in deaths of soldiers. As a result
of activities of the Armenian forces to neutralize the subversive
groups of the enemy, according to various sources, 25 Azerbaijani
commandoes were killed. -0-
