ARMENIAN DEFENSE MINISTER CALLS FOR STRENGTHENED BORDER CONTROL
14:32 * 12.01.15
In the wake of the past days' subversive border attacks by the
Azerbaijani armed forces, Armenia's Ministry of Defense has elaborated
procedures to strengthen border control.
The document, a seven-clause order calling for a higher vigilance,
was introduced by Minister Seyran Ohanyan at a working meeting in
Yerevan on Monday.
"It is necessary to ensure an enhanced military vigilance and to
improve the monitoring system; we have to fight against subversive
intelligence operations and to conduct trainings to raise the
efficiency of all the subdivisions. We have to enforce punishment
against the adversary and sometimes be the first to initiate attack,
without waiting for the adversary to take any measures. We must
have the abilities to react regularly and to always have all the
counteractions and punitive measures in our hands," he noted.
The minister said he thinks that the commands of battalions and
companies will be able to take independent action to avert aggression
after studying the adversary's strengths and weaknesses and the
directions of possible attacks.
"I call for giving that freedom to commanders," Mr Ohanyan added.
