ArmInfo. At the moment, hostilities in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict continue, they are not as fierce as in the first stage of the war. Artsrun Hovhannisyan stated this in an interview with Radio Liberty.
"Local battles continue. In particular, battles are taking place in Martuni, on a separate front line south of Martuni and north of Hadrut, separate local battles are also being fought in villages located in forests. Certain local battles are also being conducted on the flat part, to north of Araks, in the direction of Berdzor, "Hovhannisyan said.
He also disagreed with the claims that the Armenian side was not ready for this war. According to Hovhannisyan, given the scale of the force faced by the Armenian Armed Forces, it fulfilled its task by 101%. According to him, the Armenian army is performing its task brilliantly, despite serious losses, due to the fact that the force is unequal, and since the enemy still has an advantage in terms of technical equipment. The representative of the Armenian Defense Ministry also urged not to spread information about the need to declare the sky over Artsakh no-fly zone. According to him, this is not effective and difficult to implement, since it is impossible to ensure its full compliance.
