The situation on the Line of Contact of the Armenian and Azerbaijani armed forces remains tense, Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan was quoted as saying by yerkirmedia.am.

“Today we, the Armenian president, the military and political leadership do everything to reduce the level of tension. Analysis in recent days shows that in a global sense, there are still no grounds for large-scale military operations,” Armenian defense minister said.
