12:57, 08.08.2014
YEREVAN. - The Armenian Armed Forces are independently and successfully
carrying out their mission, Deputy Defense Minister Davit Tonoyan
said in an interview with the Voice of America.
Asked about possible deployment of Russian peacekeepers in the
Karabakh conflict zone, Deputy Minister recalled that there have been
no discussions on the issue.
"The issue of deployment of external forces was considered neither by
Russia, nor any other country or organization. Besides, deployment of
peacekeepers is possible only a certain peace agreement is signed,"
Tonoyan said.
Speaking about upcoming meetings in Sochi, Deputy Minister noted that
the most that he expects is adoption of a new statement following
which Azerbaijan is unlikely to stop its provocative actions.
He believes the international community, by realizing importance of
stability in the South Caucasus, must find leverage over Azerbaijan.
Otherwise, the situation is fraught with turning into bloodshed.
Davit Tonoyan assured that Armenia will continue to maintain balance
in military field, and has purchased military equipment from Russia.
"And will continue to do so, until our neighbor comes to senses,"
he resumed.
