    Armenia taking "large-scale measures" to counter Azeri sniper fire


    [Presenter] The Armenian army is preparing large-scale measures
    against Azerbaijani snipers.

    According to information provided by the Armenian Ministry of Defence,
    the opponent has procured a large batch of sniper weapons and is
    setting up sniper groups consisting of foreign contractors. The press
    secretary of the Ministry of Defence gave some explanations at the
    request of "Haylur" [news bulletin of the state-owned Armenian Public
    TV].

    [Davit Karapetyan, the press secretary of the Armenian minister of
    defence, interviewed] Expansion and development of the defence
    capacities of the Armenian army is the day-to-day work of the Ministry
    of Defence. Expert assessments of the probable and less probable
    actions of the opponent and scenarios of neutralizing the threat are
    being prepared. Our actions are commensurate with the existing
    threats.

    [Mediamax news agency, Yerevan, in Russian 1249 gmt 10 Feb 11 quoted
    Armenian Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan as saying at his meeting with
    the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen that Armenia was concerned about the
    recent intensification of the sniper fire from the Azerbaijani side on
    the Nagornyy Karabakh front line. The minister told the Karabakh
    mediators that Armenia was taking appropriate measures to "neutralize"
    Azerbaijan's actions, Mediamax said.]
