YEREVAN.- The Armenian army has proved that it can compete with ant army in the world, said Dapety Minister of Emergency Situations, Major-General Astvatsatur Petrosyan.

“To declare war against Armenia, the Armenian army with all its might, to encroach on its territory and historical heritage is at least silly. In Karabakh our army moved forward. Our peacekeepers in Iraq and Afghanistan have shown that they are representatives of humane army, defending the interests of the state,” he told journalists  stressing that the Armenian army, being the best in the region, is comparable to any European one.

Weapons, equipment, and the ability of the Armenian soldiers are capable of solving any problem, he added.
