YEREVAN. – In the absence of any targeted statements against Azerbaijan, the Armenian side stands ready to use not only corresponding but disproportionate force, so that the security of the Nagorno-Karabakh (NKR/Artsakh) is ultimately ensured. 

Member of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia National Assembly (NA) Faction, Artak Davtyan, who is also Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on Science, Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, noted the abovementioned at a press conference on Tuesday. 

In his words, after the accumulation of its troops and armaments, Azerbaijan states that Karabakh is its territory and it can do whatever it wants there.

“This is a wonderful statement for our [i.e. the Armenian side’s] future actions, and then the Russian PM’s statement that now it’s not important who started the hostilities was [also] wonderful,” Davtyan stressed. “If it’s not important that Azerbaijan starts the war, the Armenian sides will not wait when they [i.e. the Azerbaijani armed forces] again will approach our borders.”
