Yerevan /Mediamax/. The Armenian Ministry of Defense stated today “if Azerbaijan continues to increase tension, then Armenian Armed Forces will be forced to tighten their retaliatory actions”.

The statement of the Defense Ministry describes the actions of the Azerbaijani military leadership as “deprived of military logic” and “full of senseless revenge”.

The statement reads that over the past days Azerbaijan does not cease attempts of subversive sallies on the line of contact between Karabakh and Azerbaijan by using large caliber shooting and artillery weapons as well as grenade launchers, mortars and heat-seeking missiles.

“The Armenian Defense Ministry states that the actions of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces fully contradict to the spirit and logic of the peace process within the OSCE Minsk group and are fraught with transformation into large-scale military actions”, the statement reads.
