“The Artsakh Defense Army has been and remains one of the main guarantors of the security of the Artsakh Republic. Right now our soldiers are in position to face the enemy. The issue of disbanding the Defense Army is not on the agenda of the Artsakh government. All discussions related to the Defense Army are related to reorganization, rearmament, modernization and other issues. We have a lot to do to build our future, the army has a key role in that,” she said.
