Deputy Defense Minister of NKR, Head of the Union of Artsakh
Freedom-Fighters, Major General Samvel Karapetyan has disseminated a
statement suggesting that unlike Artsakh's Defense Army, the
Azerbaijani army is incapable of any large-scale operation, even the
most promising one.
"The current tension is unprecedented since the ceasefire of 1994. The
logic of the sabotage attempts in the period from July 28 up to August
5 shows that the enemy uses the tactics of 'offensive reconnaissance'
to reveal our defense power and its own army's readiness for a resumed
war. The enemy nearly every day attempts to penetrate into our
positions and faces strong resistance every time. The raiders are
thrown back suffering technical and human losses," the general says.
As for the involvement of the Artsakh war veterans in the defense
actions on the border, Karapetyan said the freedom-fighters have
always fought next to the army. He said hundreds of freedom-fighters
have left to the front line to support our soldiers in the most
dangerous areas of the Line of Contact.
"If the NKR Defense Minister was unable to fulfill its military tasks,
the general mobilization would have been announced. There is no need
in mobilization of forces, as our soldiers fulfill their tasks
brilliantly. Freedom-fighters and the Artsdakh war veterans have left
to the front line to encourage soldiers and to keep the army morale
high. We ought to dictate our will to the enemy and not to allow it
achieve even insignificant success. Every soldier ought to fulfill his
duty with high conscience and responsibility. Our army proves this
every day and every hour," Karapetyan said.
