Movses Hakobyan, Defense Minister of the Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) Republic welcomes the idea of installing cameras in military units.

"We already have cameras installed in barracks, checkpoints and other places where conflicts are reported periodically," the NKR official said adding that they usually disclose all crimes.

"This preventative measure [cameras] will require financial investments," he continued. "The main problems arise on the frontlines where the control of commanders is comparatively weaker."

The official laments the increase in the number of suicides in the ranks: "Last year we had only one suicide, but this year we have already had four cases," he stressed.

Mr. Hakobyan says the possibility of war is rather low but if Azerbaijan attacks, we will surely win, doubling our territories.
