Armenian president vows retaliation against Azeri shooting
YEREVAN. April 27
Armenia is ready to retaliate against the shooting by Azeri forces
against the Armenian positions, said Armenian President Serzh
Sargsian, according to the Yerevan-based media outlets.
"No one should think that they can take advantage of the political
processes occurring in our country, assuming we are too busy with our
elections. We have a strong army and we will resort to relevant steps.
I do not think that anyone in our country doubts the might of our
defensive forces," Sargsian said at a meeting with voters in the
republic's Lori region.
Earlier on Friday sources told Interfax that three Armenian soldiers
became victims of the Azeri shooting against the border positions in
the Tavush region in northeast Armenia.
Meanwhile, the Armenian Defense Ministry issued a statement confirming
the death of three soldiers, without specifying where the shooting
came from.
"At 4:15 a.m. on April 27 the sixth garrison investigative division of
the Investigative Service of the Armenian Defense Ministry received a
report that a VAZ 2107 vehicle owned by a contract soldier from the N
military base was fired at near a section of the road between the
villages of Aigepar and Movses in the Tavush region, Armenia, as a
result of which the driver and two passengers, also contract soldiers,
were killed. The scene inspection led to the discovery of multiple
traces from bullets," the Defense Ministry said.
A criminal inquiry has been launched into the incident, the statement said.
