Armenian armed forces ensure the security of Artsakh people, Defense Minister said.
“The cooperation between RA armed forces and defense army of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic is aimed at ensuring the protection of the two Armenian states,” Seyran Ohanyan said, pledging to continue implementation of the mission in 2013.
Dwelling on the possibility of the renewal of war, he said Baku’s anti-Armenian policy, arms race and provocations escalate tensions in the region.
“However, there’s no major risk of war now,” Minister Ohanyan said.
As for Azerbaijani threats against Stepanakert airport operations, he said, “RA air forces will ensure the scheduled flights of the civil airplanes.”
