DM spokesperson on lack of bullets: “It is not serious”
“Those emotive stories that the soldier fired until the last bullet, doesn’t mean that the soldiers didn’t have bullets,” spokesperson for the RA Defense Ministry Artsrun Hovhannisyan told the journalists during the press conference in the DA. He commented on the confessions of some soldiers, who participated in the four-day war, on various websites, according to which there was lack of bullets during the fight. Mr Hovhannisyan says that if a soldier says that he fired until the last bullet, we cannot say, what military task that soldier solved. “In a military post the soldier can fire until the last bullet, as at that moment the supporting forces cannot approach due to the shelling in this or that army post; it is war,” says the DA spokesperson. He considers the rumors that our soldiers had few bullets or didn’t have bullets not serious, “Especially after 2014, in our army posts our soldiers have been so densely armed, that there is even no such thing in the armies of many leading states.” The spokesperson assures the journalists that the media outlets don’t have any serious proof that there was lack of bullets.
