"We are ready to resist and defeat the armed forces, that would try to ruffle our people. They would not be able to do a step forward. Be sure that we are ready for it", M.Arutyan noted.

"The recent polls showed that over 60% of the population of Azerbaijan do not want the forced settlement of Nagorno Garabagh conflict and strive for the peaceful resolution of the conflict". the Defense Minister of Armenia said.

According to Arutyan, if the leadership of Azerbaijan speaks about 20% of the occupied lands and 1 million refugees, it should think over what it would do in case of a loss of another 20% of lands and appearance of another 2 million refugees".

"They modernize their armed forces, purchase arms, raise budget. We see it and, of course, we take measure to raise the military capacity of our armed forces", Arutyunan said.
