YEREVAN. - The situation on the Contact Line and the Armenian border is currently controllable and stabilized, Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan told Public Television of Armenia.

In his words, our Armed Forces have completed their tasks: they are allocated in their places, ready to quickly respond to corresponding violations. “Of course, there have been minor violations, but they are controllable. The troops of both the [Nagorno-Karabakh Republic] Defense Army and Armenian Armed Forces, which are allocated on the border, carry out stabilization and engineering activities; the border line is strengthened,” Ohanyan said.

Referring to the maneuvers of the adversary’s armed forces, the Minister said: “Our reconnaissance constantly works. I should say that actually no superpower can today be secured from any war or terrorist act. In such a situation our task is unification and unified implementation of the tasks set before us. What happened during these days is the continuation of our struggle, which we have always won thanks to our unity.”

According to the Minister, the military activities which took pace from April 2 to 5, were unprecedented by their scale, maneuvers, use of force, as well as in terms of politics.  “Defense Army commanders, soldiers and volunteers have simply manifested heroism: we have achieved success thanks to their feats,” Ohanyan noted.

He also added that the Armenian side sees the entire movement of the adversary and takes relevant measures accordingly. “Over 150 diversionary infiltration attempts have been launched in the recent days. All of them have been pushed back thanks to our reconnaissance. There have been certain issues related to vigilance in several sections, but our reconnaissance does work,” the Minister stressed.
