YEREVAN, MAY 8, ARMENPRESS. Defense minister of Armenia Davit Tonoyan says the situation in the Armenian-Azerbaijani border is relatively stable.

“I assess the situation as relatively stable, all actions are being taken to avoid problems”, he told reporters in Yerablur military pantheon.

Asked how he reacts to the petition for giving legal status to the Armenia-Artsakh strategic alliance, the minister said it is more of a political process. “I wouldn’t like to give an assessment, but all this exists in my heart”, he said.

On May 7 the Armenia-Artsakh Strategic Alliance forum was held in Stepanakert with the agenda to raise the legal relations of the two republics to a new level. The process on signing a comprehensive partnership agreement between the two Armenian states has launched during the forum.
