    On the third day of his working visit to the Nagorno-Karabakh
    Republic, the RA President and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the
    RA Armed Forces, Serzh Sargsyan, in company of NKR President Bako
    Sahakyan, observed the RA and NKR armed forces' "Unity-2014" joint
    operative-tactical military exercises at the Tigranakert Military
    Training Center. A tank biathlon competition was demonstrated during
    which the best participant in shooting and other categories were
    determined. The Presidents of the two Armenian republics observed the
    live-fire firing phase from the observation-tower of the same military
    training center followed by an award giving ceremony dedicated to the
    servicemen actively involved in the military exercise and military
    service. Serzh Sargsyan congratulated the participants of the military
    exercise on demonstrating courage and high fighting abilities in the
    imitated battle and the successful implementation of these large-scale
    military exercises.

    "Honorable generals and officers,

    Dear soldiers,

    The biggest, the most large-scale and useful military exercises that
    have been ever conducted with the cooperation of the NKR Defense Army
    and the RA Armed Forces are coming to their end, and despite the
    deplorable occurrence, I think that the military exercises have
    succeeded. Of course, corresponding experts and executives are yet to
    sum up, analyze and draw conclusions about them but we are happy for
    what we saw in the imitated battle. You demonstrated high fighting
    abilities, will and devotion to the Motherland. Well done, thank you.

    Throughout these days, not only your proud parents, but also the
    entire population of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and the Republic of
    Armenia have focused their attention on you, because your are our hope
    and belief, our sword and shield, and as you know, the shield is
    stronger and the sword is sharper when they are used for just
    purposes. You serve the ends of justice

    Thank you.

    Of course, you have been followed by foreigners and, first of all, the
    ones who consider us their enemies, who use indiscriminate methods and
    are able to chop a sleeper, who are able to destroy a non-dangerous
    helicopter that has got into a difficult situation. It is their
    business. You do your work well. We all remember everything, and the
    day of retribution will come. Your task is very clear: continue in the
    same spirit. I have said numerous times and I am reiterating that the
    war instigated by the Republic of Azerbaijan at the beginning of the
    90s was also the result of underestimation, and if, God forbid, they
    instigate war once again, we too will be guilty of giving them the
    chance to underestimate us.

    Respectable officers,

    Dear soldiers,

    Your behavior demonstrated in the imitated battle and the contact
    line, as well as your fighting trim deserves not underestimation, but
    appreciation. Your mastery already makes very many Azeri simpletons
    change their opinion about war. They thought that fighting against
    Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia was a short and pleasant hobby, something
    like a flash mob - to assemble, perform an act, be photographed and
    disperse. No, there will be no flash mob and pleasant walk. I am
    confident that war will not occur either, because you are strong and
    are standing here.

    Dear soldiers,

    Remember, there has been written a lot on papers, including rights of
    humans and nations, but those rights need to be protected, and you are
    the guarantors of those rights. A lot of peoples of the world truly
    take pride in their armies, but you are responsible for our life and
    the security of our people. We believe in you and resting on that
    belief, we will do everything to reach a fair solution to the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and ensure Armenia's and Artsakh's security.

    We are grateful to you. You are our sons, we secure your rear and you
    are our defenders. Remember it. I wish all of you success. Military
    exercises are not the end, but the beginning of your fighting trim,
    diligence, sufferings, because both war and military exercises are
    emergency situations. And an emergency situation requires emergency
    actions that are full of difficulties and sufferings. But remember:
    there is not holier thing than serving the Motherland's security. You
    do it very well.

    I would like to thank you on behalf of our people.

    I wish you good service," said the RA President and the Supreme
    Commander-in-Chief of the RA Armed Forces, Serzh Sargsyan, in his
    speech to the participants of the military exercise.

    Later on, a military parade took place at the Tigranakert Military
    Training Center.
    Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Bako Sahakyan today also attended the
    opening of a newly-built military hospital in Martakert town.
