01.23.2014 17:10 epress.am
There is tension on the Azerbaijani front; they are panic-stricken,
said Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan ahead of the government
meeting today, responding to RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan's
request to report on the incident on the "contact line" on the night
of January 19-20.
"This panic is reflected not only on [Karabakh's] Line of Contact with
Azerbaijan, but also in shots fired in Armenia's northeastern region.
We don't respond to casual shots; we only respond to regular firing
and sniper shots," he said.
The defense minister said that on the night of Jan. 19-20 the
Azerbaijani sabotage group suffered losses and retreated due to the
selflessness and skilled actions of Sergeant Armen Hovhannisyan,
who was posthumously awarded a medal for courage.
Ohanyan also reassured the cabinet that the situation is currently
under control, and "our compatriots should never fear, as our soldiers
carry out their service as they [always] have."
