YEREVAN. – Both the adversary and we always carry out mechanical equipping of the defense line. Artsrun Hovhannisyan, the Press Secretary of the Minister of Defense of Armenia, told the abovementioned to Armenian News-NEWS.am. Hovhannisyan stated this commenting on the media reports that the Azerbaijanis are fortifying their border with Armenia.

In his view, it is only natural that the parties in a frozen and heated conflict—and in this case, in a slow war, too—regularly equip their defensive line.

“This is a constant process, this is what the logic of the conflict prompts,” Artsrun Hovhannisyan added. 

As reported earlier, the Azerbaijani armed forces are carrying out engineering fortification work along their border with Armenia, Haykakan Zhamanak daily wrote.

“Several days ago, our correspondent recorded that the adversary’s bulldozer is building high barriers of soil at the Yersakh-Sadarak sector of the Armenian-Azerbaijani line of contact, [and] directly along its own trenches.

“According to information we have received from the Ijevan region of the Tavush Province [of Armenia], similar works are underway also in the Kayan-Ghazakh sector, and just like in Yeraskh, the Armenian side can hear the sound of the engine of the adversary’s heavy equipment.

“And yesterday[, Thursday,] Facebook posts appeared that the Azerbaijanis are also fortifying their border with the Noyemberyan region [of Armenia],” Haykakan Zhamanak also wrote.
