Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan: Our army is consolidated, efficient and can solve the issues it faces

YEREVAN, JANUARY 27, ARMENPRESS: Our army is consolidated today, efficient and can solve the issues it faces, hero of the Artsakh battle, General-Mayor Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan – Commandos, said.

He described the process of the Artsakh war, stressing that the enemy was better armed and comprised a larger number, but the Armenian forces managed to confront and take a victory in the imposed war. “We formed voluntary detachments, the goal of which was to concede no land to the enemy,” Commandos said. According to him, the Azerbaijani called us an aggressor, while they kidnapped, manifesting violence.

“There was no state leadership at the beginning, we did not have allies, while Turkey was fully supported by Azerbaijan,” Mr. Ter-Tadevosyan pointed out, adding that the Diaspora joined the battle, having its outstanding contribution to the victory.

“By that time we put the basis of the army, and we conveyed our experience to next generations. But the wars of the present and past are different,” the speaker stressed, detailing that this is a century of information war, hence we must act by up-to-date means. “Azerbaijan is moving forward with the methods of Goebbels propaganda, the proof of which is the lies spread by the Azerbaijani mass media,” Commandos stressed.

He also pointed out the necessity of setting up a center engaged in the history of the Armenian army, where the whole information concerning the army will be compiled.
