Defense army of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic carries out its duty along the whole contact line in the routine regime, the army spokesman said.

“Azerbaijani armed forces, as well as the NKR defense army organize regular exercises to enhance their alertness,” Senor Hasratyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, when commenting on the launch of large-scale exercise of Azerbaijani armed forces in the front-line zone.

The statement disseminated by Azerbaijan’s defense ministry on February 20 says the Azerbaijani army started its regular large-scale exercise in the front-line zone.

The maneuvers bringing together the land forces and military aviation are conducted under the command of Azerbaijani Defense Minister, Colonel-General Safar Abiyev.
