Ohanyan: Azerbaijan planned Armenian helicopter downing in advance
The helicopter of the Nagorno Karabakh Air Force was shot down during a training flight over our territory. It is a violation of all the existing norms. No doubt during the military exercises in Nagorno Karabakh, the Azerbaijani armed forces raised the level of combat readiness and the order to down the helicopter was given in advance,” Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan told reporters today.
In his words, high-ranking officials of Defense Ministry yesterday met with the families of the downed helicopter’s crew members. “I met with the fathers of the pilots yesterday,” the minister said.
