YEREVAN (Combined Sources) — The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia will be ready to confront the Azerbaijani regime at any time if they were to unleash a war over Artsakh, First Deputy Minister of Defense David Tonoyan said today, commenting on the repeated front-line escalations provoked by the adversary.
Speaking at a meeting with Armenian writers, Tonoyan noted that Ministry has carried out analytical work to evaluate possible threats. He said that the forecasts of economic challenges in the country were made in the first round of the project back in 2008-2010.
“The Armed Forces carry out planning, considering all the scenarios, so the possibility of a renewed war was initially revised and the necessary actions were planned. Social factors may exacerbate or freeze the situation, but it doesn’t matter much for servicemen. We are ready both today and tomorrow.â€
