Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan said today that besides defense, the Armenian side can also take preventive measures against the rival’s actions.

“We can turn the rival’s territory into a hotspot and they won’t be able to deal with it. The rival is mistaken thinking Armenia won’t resort to other actions for the sake of maintaining ceasefire”, the Minister said this talking to journalists.

Seyran Ohanyan stressed that the situation is not acceptable for the Armenian military and political leadership.

“We should make a radical decision - either to adhere to the ceasefire agreement, or take relevant measures to force peace to the rival. If our neighbor doesn’t understand that he should stick to the ceasefire agreement, he should be given an abrupt response, and we are capable of doing it”, he said.

“The rival’s armed forces can’t have any impact in terms of quantity as in terms of quality and combat training, we are in a better state”, added Seyran Ohanyan.
