    If you want peace, prepare for war - Armenian Defense Minister

    YEREVAN.- The last year stood out by growing tension along the line of
    contact, especially in the context of Azerbaijan's involvement of
    snipers and attempts to conduct acts of sabotage, Armenian Defense
    Minister said.

    `The actions got an adequate response of the Armenian side,' he said,
    addressing professors and students of the Yerevan State University on
    Saturday.

    The Minister stated Armenian armed forces incurred losses last year.
    Most of the soldiers were killed, while fulfilling the combat tasks.

    `We must be proud of having warriors ready to defend positions at the
    expense of their lives,' Ohanyan said.

    Defense Minister said combat readiness of the Armenian army has
    increased. Armenia has been developing the defense industry.

    `Our neighbors are constantly voicing bellicose rhetoric, expressing
    readiness to resume hostilities and refusing to take
    confidence-building measures to cut the number of incidents along the
    line of contact. This makes us be on the alert. The saying goes: If
    you want peace, prepare for war,' Ohanyan noted.
