Armenian Foreign Ministry warned the Azeri Defense Minister against indulging in wishful thinking.

Earlier, Zakir Hasanov commanded to destroy the Armenian aircrafts in case they crossed the border during the military exercises.

“Hasanov is trying to present the Azeri-hosted military exercise scenario as reality. We would advise Hasanov to avoid excessive rhetoric,” an Armenian Foreign Ministry statement reads.

“As for the border flights, the Armenian air force constantly performs training flights throughout the territory of the country.”

Shant-2015 military strategic command and staff exercises were held on September 3-6 in Armenia.

Shant-2015 aimed to recheck the immediate defense preparedness of the State, the mobilization preparedness of the state and military governing bodies for repulsing aggression and the capability to bring to a high degree of readiness and to raise the level of harmony in actions and interactions.
