“Our number is not such that the absence of those 100 servicemen presupposes any change at the border”: Deputy Minister of Defense on sending troops to Kazakhstan

January 11,2022 14:40

“If the border situation was tense at the moment, you would receive information,” Deputy Defense Minister Arman Sargsyan told reporters on Tuesday. He assured that the Ministry of Defense provides official information and publishes everything, so he urged people to follow the news of the Ministry of Defense. In response to the question of if it was not risky to send a military unit to Kazakhstan when our borders are not protected today, Arman Sargsyan answered that the exact number is mentioned, 100 soldiers were sent, and it was clearly stated what function they perform there.

“They carry out the function of protecting the most important objects. Oppositionists can present their observations by that logic, but there is no risk problem in that. Our numbers are not such that the absence of those 100 soldiers would imply any change at the border due to tensions. I am familiar with criticism, if we follow criticism, we are in a very painful situation. Of course, this is not the case, the criticism must be objective, from which the government will learn lessons.”

In response to our question of what logic he sees when we bring the Russians to our borders, stop them, and send our soldiers to help the Kazakhs, Arman Sargsyan answered, “I see logic in everything.” In response to the question of how he assesses the border situation at the moment, the deputy minister answered, “Lately, I can say that it is not so tense, but no one can rule out that there may be tension at any moment.”
