YEREVAN. – Armenian border guards punished the adversary severely, Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan told reporters, commenting on a number of incidents on Armenia-Azerbaijan border and the line of contact with Nagorno-Karabakh .

“We have to realize that such a situation repeats periodically. We have difficulties with the adversary who is in the conditions of direct contact with us. An intelligence-diversionary infiltration attempt was made at the section of NKR Defense Army, but our border guards warned and punished the opponent who suffered losses in killed and wounded,” Ohanyan said.

The Minister noted it is clear that Azerbaijan has more financial capacities, but their actions are controlled by the Armenian side.

“The adversary is periodically updating and buying weapons. But we need to understand that the army is not only evaluated by the quantity of armament. First of all you need to master, operate and maintain weapons. And,you  need people who will do it properly. In this regard, the Ministry of Defense of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army retain the balance of power without the third party due to quality training and high morale of our troops,” Ohanyan emphasized.
