In an interview with Armenian News-NEWS.am, President of the Union of Freedom Fighters of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), hero of Artsakh, Major-General Samvel Karapetyan (Oganovsky) touching upon the military operations that took place in the northeastern sector of the Armenia-Azerbaijan border about a week ago.

When asked if the casualties of the adversary serve as a ground to assume that the Azerbaijani army is not efficient, General Oganovsky said the following:

“The Armenian Armed Forces completed their tasks brilliantly, but we Armenians don’t have the right to underestimate the adversary in any case. There was a time when the adversary underestimated us and created a serious problem for themselves. The enemy can never be underestimated.”

During a cabinet session a few days ago, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev complained that only 150 people had enlisted to fight on the backdrop of a demonstration held with the participation of several thousands of people, while the Union of Freedom Fighters of Artsakh had declared that over 13,000 volunteers are ready to join the Armed Forces of Artsakh and defend the homeland in case of need.
