NKR Defense Army will give adequate response to Azerbaijan

“Killing of any Armenian soldier by enemy fire at NKR defensive posts is a loss to all of us, the whole people mourns it. All Armenians, from California to Australia, care for Armenian soldiers who defend our borders. The Azerbaijani army constantly makes such provocations in order to distract people’s attention from internal problems faced by their Armed Forces and from the strained political situation in the country. Imitation of warlike situation resolves many domestic problems, let alone foreign policy issues,” military expert Artsrun Hovhannisyan told Aysor.am, commenting upon the killing of two Armenian soldiers at NKR defensive posts by Azerbaijani sniper fire.

According to the expert, Armenian people’s patience is being exhausted, with the Azerbaijani army becoming more and more impudent.

“Azerbaijan is badly mistaken to think that its violent actions can intimidate the Armenian people; the young people in Armenia never avoid military service, they become revengeful instead. I am convinced that the Artsakh Defense Army will give an adequate response to Azerbaijan,” the expert said.

However, it’s up to the international organizations to condemn Azerbaijan’s violence, according to him.

“The international organizations must condemn any aggression by Azerbaijan. If they seek to resolve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, they must be unbiased, they must separately discuss any act of aggression, making a thorough analysis and saying who is guilty.”
