Armenian armed forces can parry provocations![]() April 8, 2010 - 14:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The efficiency of the Armenian army guarantees security of Armenian and Karabakh people, said Major General Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan, Commandos. “The efficiency of any army is determined by experts’ assessments but not by self-laudation. Our army is assessed highly. As to the Azeri army, it was a mistake of Azerbaijan’s leadership to reorganize the armed forces for three times,” he told a news conference in Yerevan. He also noted that Armenian army is monoethnic unlike that of Azerbaijan, where national minorities are oppressed. “Not weapons but the spirit is the most important factor. We struggled for independence in hard conditions but we were strong. Besides, we can manage military hardware. Our armed forces can parry provocations and rebuff any attack,” the Major General said.
