The command staff of the NKR Defense Army constantly makes efforts
to avoid extraordinary situations as much as possible and reduce
the losses to the minimum, NKR Defense Minister, Commander of the
NKR Defense Army Movses Hakobyan told Armenpress news agency in
an interview.
"The death of each soldier is a serious loss for the commend staff
of the Defense Army as they are not just common soldiers for us, but
sons, brothers and Armenians who could have a family, strong future and
contribute to the development of our motherland if they remained alive.
"It should be noted that despite the aforesaid reasons, the
command staff of the Defense Army constantly makes efforts to avoid
extraordinary situations as much as possible and reduce the losses
to the minimum. I would like to mention that in 2012 we recorded the
lowest amount of losses as compared to the previous years and the
losses of the Defense Army in the current year decreased by 40 percent
compared to the previous year. Notwithstanding, this reduction is not
a criterion for us. It will be a criterion for us when the deaths in
the Army are totally excluded. This is a very complicated but solvable
issue," Mr Hakobyan said.
"In accordance with my promise, in 2012 and 2013 the Azerbaijani
army gave 5 victims or injured for each of our loss. Nevertheless,
notwithstanding this statistics, in comparison with the Azerbaijani
army, we do not accept the loss of even one Armenian soldier. Our
aim is to exclude the fatal cases in the army during military duty
or in any other situation."
