Discussing disbanding of Defense Army would be ‘definitively unrealistic’, says Nagorno Karabakh

YEREVAN, JULY 6, ARMENPRESS. Disbanding the Defense Army of Nagorno Karabakh would be unrealistic given the aggressive actions and rhetoric by Azerbaijan, the Nagorno Karabakh Foreign Minister Sergey Ghazaryan said.

Those who are familiar with the Nagorno Karabakh conflict know that the Defense Army is the most important factor ensuring the security of the population of Nagorno Karabakh, he said.

“Seeing the growing aggressive actions, provocation and aggressive rhetoric by Azerbaijan, discussing the issue of disbanding the Defense Army or the state system – which Azerbaijan demands as a precondition - would definitely be unrealistic,” Ghazaryan said.

Speaking about a letter sent recently by the Nagorno Karabakh President Arayik Harutyunyan to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ghazaryan said that such letters are regularly sent to various leaders.
