YEREVAN. – It is planned events, it takes place every year, there will be several more times this year; there is no reason to worry. Gabriel Balayan, the Deputy Defense Minister of Armenia, stated this in a conversation with journalists today, referring to the mobilizations being held in the country.

"They are events envisioned by the mobilization-readiness plan that will take place at various levels," he added. “The relevant decision of the government already exists. It was held last year, too; we did it from September 24 to October 5.

It is simply naive to link it to border tensions."
