YEREVAN, MAY 26, ARMENPRESS. Deputy Speaker of Parliament Eduard Sharmazanov says the Armenian Armed Forces and the Nagorno Karabakhi Armed Forces have properly fulfilled their responsibilities and duties.

Sharmazanov’s statement comes after Samvel Babayan, Former commander of the Nagorno Karabakhi Defense Army, said as if the Armenian side had not taken enough security measures, unlike Azerbaijan.

“During the 4 day war, the Azerbaijani “blitzkrieg” has failed. Azerbaijan failed to capture any settlement. All settlements are under the control of Nagorno Karabakhi forces”, Sharmazanov said.

He added that the failure of Azerbaijani forces prove that Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh pay serious attention to the security measures.

“We have stated numerous times that our main aim is security”, he said.
