The Unity 2014 operational and tactical joint military exercises of the Armenia and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR; Artsakh) Armed Forces continued Friday at the Tigranakert military training facility in Artsakh.  

Armenia and NKR Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Bako Sahakyan, and Defense Ministers Seyran Ohanyan and Movses Hakobyan—who is also Commander of the NKR Defense Army—monitored the firing phase of the maneuvers, the Armenian  News-NEWS.am reporter informed from the location.  

A tank biathlon was held in the morning. Subsequently, the special units showed their skills, and President Sargsyan personally inspected a new outlook.

The military drills then continued at Akn. To note, the Azerbaijani side on Wednesday had shot an Armenian helicopter a mere four kilometers away from this region. But this did not prevent the Armenian side to fly two more helicopters on Friday.  

“The objectives of the military exercise are fulfilled. We became convinced that the cooperation was at a high level in all episodes,” Seyran Ohanyan stated, in particular.      

The closing ceremony of these military drills will be held on Saturday.
