    DEFENSE OFFICIAL: WE SHOULD BE READY FOR WAR

    First Deputy Defense Minister of Armenia David Tonoyan in his
    interview to RIA Novosti Russian news agency stated that resumption
    of hostilities in Nagorno Karabakh is "quite possible".

    "Under the given circumstances we consider it proper to view the
    situation from security perspectives, supposing that active hostilities
    can be launched any minute and, thus, be on stand-by, rather than
    just guessing whether a new war might break out in Karabakh. In this
    context it is important to stress another no-less important factor -
    the cooperation between the armies of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh
    are on the highest level," said Tonoyan.

    In the same interview Tonoyan confirmed the long speculated news that
    an Armenian-Russian joint workshop would be operating in the region to
    provide technical assistance and repair armored units and anti-aircraft
    defense technologies, as well as a variety of Russian-production
    helicopters and vehicles manufactured by Uralian Auto-Motor Plant
    (UAZ).

    He also stated that Armenia is planning to sell its domestically
    manufactured unmanned aircrafts as well as other military-industrial
    products.

    "For several years now our research institutes and military-industrial
    entities have been developing various kinds of unmanned aircrafts,
    among them the most outstanding being the Krunk-25 model. All such
    aircrafts are successfully used for reconnaissance and information
    collection, and we believe that our production would be compatible
    in the international market," stressed Tonoyan.

    For the first time Armenia demonstrated its drones during the
    September 21 military parade devoted to the 20th anniversary of
    Armenia's independence.
