The press service of the Ministry of Defense (MoD) of Armenia has an official page and definitely informs the public through all means of communication if shooting incidents are recorded. Deputy defense minister Arman Sargsyan told this to reporters in the National Assembly Monday—and referring to the ongoing shootings on the border with Azerbaijan.

Referring to the fact that when there were shootings on the border, the MoD reported about them several days later, Sargsyan said: “There were cases. We have talked about them that there was a small timeliness problem. In recent times, I can confidently say that we no longer have such a problem.”

The deputy defense minister, however, did not respond to the question of whether an Armenian military contingent will leave for Moscow to participate in the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of Victory Day.
