Acting Minister of Defense of Armenia Vagharshak Harutyunyan today held a telephone conversation with Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, army general Sergey Shoygu, as reported the Armenian Ministry of Defense.

The defense ministers of the two countries, which are strategic allies, discussed the current situation in Syunik Province.

Harutyunyan talked about the Armenian side’s actions in the current situation, noting that the entire site, soldiers and the roads for their security are under the full control of the Armenian army in all the places which the Azerbaijanis have invaded, including Sev Lake.

The Armenian defense minister attached importance to the need for a peaceful solution of the situation, but also considered any encroachment on the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia inadmissible.

During the phone talks, Harutyunyan and Shoygu also discussed the Armenian-Russian military cooperation, the mission of the Russian peacekeeping contingent in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), as well as several issues related to regional security.
