Today ceding any territories to Azerbaijan is out of the question, RA Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan told journalists on Saturday at an exhibition of Armenian military industrial production.

The Minister refused to comment on Resolution adopted by the European Parliament, calling to “abandon the positions that Nagorno-Karabakh includes all Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani lands.”

Ohanyan stated that there are no “occupied territories.” “Taking into account who our neighbor is, we should develop our own military-industrial complex,” the Minister said.

According to him, two factors — people and armament – determine the outcome of any battle. He also said Armenia has good military resources but only a people can gain victory. Ohanyan also stressed Armenia has necessary potential to develop its military industrial complex.
