Today ARM Minister of Defence Seyran Ohanyan received the military attachés who are accredited in the Republic of Armenia. The Minister introduced the 2011 primary issues of the Ministry of Defence approved by the ARM Government. He also talked about the present defence policy, defence reforms, and answered their questions.

Talking about the constant warlike announcements of Azerbaijan in the negotiation process of Karabakh conflict, Seyran Ohanyan particularly stated, “Azerbaijan is threatening, saying let’s solve the problem quickly, otherwise I will start a war. We treat the issue as follows: let us negotiate, in order to solve the problem without a war. You can come and meet the commanders of all the sections of our AF – they are not coward and retreating people”.

Mr. Ohanyan also told the foreign attachés that while realizing military cooperation with partner countries Armenia does not sow enmity towards those neighbors, who can endanger the balanced regional policy of the partner states. The foreign attachés and military representatives participating in the meeting congratulated ARM Defence Minister on the Army Day and thanked him for the reception.
