Vitaly Balasanyan: No one can take away our lands from us - April  events taught us a big lesson    

ArmInfo. Secretary of the Nagorno-Karabakh Security Council, Artsakh War hero, General Vitaly Balasanyan is sure that no one can take away Armenian lands from  Armenians.  

On January 28, the Day of Armenian Army, Balasanyan told reporters  that the Armenian Armed Forces will carry out any task. At the same  time, Balasanyan is sure that Armenians have nothing to worry about,  especially when speaking of the weapons and military equipment of  Azerbaijan. "I do not underestimate the adversary, but I am sure the  armed forces of the two Armenian states will worthily carry out their  tasks," he stressed. Balasanyan also expressed confidence that the  Armenian side will retrieve the territories lost during the April  war.

When commenting on the stand of the first president of Armenia Levon  Ter-Petrosyan regarding the Karabakh problem and territorial  concessions, Balasanyan said that he has no desire to listen to those  collecting political dividends by means of the Karabakh problem. "It  is very dangerous. I would advise people to neither listen nor read  the statements of such people or politicians," he said. "We see that  Azerbaijan has ambitious plans. We have no such ambitious plans," he  said, adding that those who are able to defend their homeland will  not cede their lands. "I am sure that no one can take away our lands.  The April events taught us a big lesson. We have already corrected  our mistakes. I am sure we are ready to suppress any attacks", he  stressed.
