Seyran Ohanyan: If necessary, we will fight for every inch of land in Artsakh
Today’s peace is a result of the work, service and fight of the homeland defenders (yerkrapahs), Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan told reporters while visiting Yerablur Military Pantheon on the occasion of Yerkrapah Day.
Mr Ohanyan declined to comment on the recent statement of U.S. Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick on the ways of settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
“The Armenian army, which ensures security of the Armenian people, was formed on the basis of Yerkrapah detachments. The Armenian army, with its mobilization resource, Karabakh War veterans (freedom fighters) and Yerkrapah volunteers, is a consolidated structure, which, if necessary, is always ready to defend our homeland. The Armenian army is a guarantor of Artsakh’s security and if anything happens in Artsakh, we all will fight for every inch of land,” Seyran Ohanyan said.
