“According to the source of the paper, [PM] Nikol Pashinyan spent virtually all Sunday with Defense Minister Davit Tonoyan and GS [General Staff] Chief Artak Davtyan, held several closed consultations. It is not known what exactly the [military] forces have reported to Pashinyan, but one thing is clear that the matter concerned the border tension and possible aggression of the enemy [i.e., Azerbaijan].
