Resumption of war in Nagorno Karabakh will bring a new victory to the Armenian side, the republic's Defense Minister said, according to Panorama.am.

Commenting on the response of Armenian soldiers in case of a new war, Movses Hakobyan said he expects nothing but a victory.

“As Defense Minister, I get prepared for war every day. My activities and the activities of my subordinates are aimed at this,” said the official.

Hakobyan also said that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict cannot be resolved without involvement of Artsakh.

“Whoever participates in the negotiations, whatever proposals are made, the conflict must be resolved by Artsakh people. The conflict might be settled in a matter of few years were Karabakh allowed participation in the talks,” he concluded.
