In response to a question from journalists of if he believes that our two citizens could have deviated from the Goris-Vorotan road,, the Chief of the General Staff Artak Davtyan said to ask them that question. “A lot of comments have been made about this issue. As it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Defense or the Armed Forces, I will not comment.
The NSS has made a statement on that issue, take note of it.” According to Artak Davtyan, it is necessary to get out of the current situation by overcoming the bad mood and working. In response to the question of if the part of the Goris-Kapan road where Azeris are now is Armenian or not, he answered, “The NSS has made a statement in that regard, the General Staff has no comments.”
In response to the question of whether we are giving up our way by building an alternative road to the part of the Goris-Kapan road occupied by the Azerbaijanis, Artak Davtyan said that the issue is not related to the Armed Forces. In response to the observation that the issue concerns security, Davtyan answered, “What does it have to do with security? Is building a road or deciding where the road should pass the task of the Armed Forces? There is no such task. Everyone must do their job in good faith in their place.” According to him, for security, if necessary, he can give a lecture. “I will invite you to a lecture. Each department is responsible for the security of the country in the part given to it. We provide security.” The chief of staff also said that he travels along that route and has had no issues coming or going.
