OUR ARMY IS THE MOST EFFICIENT IN THE REGION
Support A1+!On the hundredth day of office Armenia’s Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian referred to his achievements, failures and further steps.
During the press conference A1+ wondered whether it is that difficult to expose the perpetrators of the March 1 events and the one who had ordered to open fire at people.
“Not a bit. But it is not upon me to cope with the task. The Police and the Prosecutor’s Office deal with the matter,” said Mr. Ohanian.
In reply to A1+’s another question whether one can fire without an order, the Armenian Defense Minister said: “It depends on circumstances. A shot can be fired with a notice if a violation has been reported or without it if an attack is made upon servicemen and policemen.”
Asked whether Armenia’s troops are still the most efficient in the region, Ohanian said: “Undoubtedly, our army remains the most efficient in the region today. The army is prospering day by day. Moreover, our army has a great experience. It has passed a long path and has characteristics typical of great armies in the world. No matter how rich the technical base of the army is, a soldier remains a key actor. Due to our servicemen we have won a glorious victory. The equilibrium is maintained in the region thanks to the fighting spirit of our soldiers.”
