Everything has been done to assure Hakob Injighulyan that he won't
be persecuted upon his return to the Motherland, Armenian Defense
Minister Seyran Ohanyan told reporters today.
"Unfortunately, the absence of state contacts with Azerbaijan does
not allow us to use all our opportunities; we keep in touch with
Hakob Injighulyan only through international organizations," the
Minister said.
Seyran Ohanyan said it's not yet clear what Hakob has declared and
where he wants to go, but assured that the efforts to return the
Armenian captive continue. The Minister said Injighulyan will be
provided with necessary support to recover psychologically and return
to his service.
Speaking about the armament of the Armenian Army, the Defense Minister
said the process can be divided into several chronological stages,
the last of which starts from 2007.
"Since 2007 we have purchased armaments necessary to counterbalance
Azerbaijan's privileges," Minister Ohanyan said.
In particulate, we have acquired air defense systems, high-precision
missile systems, which can make the rival refrain from unleashing
attack. The Minister noted that despite the quantitative privilege
of Azerbaijan, the balance of forces is maintained with respect to
quality and professionalism in using the armaments.
Seyran Ohanyan stressed that more armaments have been purchased over
the past three years and the process continues.
Seyran Ohanyan noted that the resent activeness of the Azerbaijani
snipers at the line of contact is connected with political processes
inside the country. The Minister said Armenia does not respond to
irregular firing. It punishes the rival only for targeted shots.
