Seyran Ohanian: We are ready to withdraw snipers
Armenia is ready to withdraw its snipers from the line of contact with the Azerbaijani armed forces, Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian stated at the meeting with the faculty and students of Yerevan State University today.
“We are ready to withdraw snipers and we are not afraid of that. In case of any shot fired from the opposite side, we will again deploy our snipers on frontline positions within a matter of minutes for retaliatory strikes,” the minister said.
He at the same time stressed that the withdrawal of snipers cannot be a result of unilateral pressure. “This step should be taken by both sides and be aimed at creating an atmosphere of trust,” Seyran Ohanian said.
