Armenia has beefed up military fortifications along the volatile western sections of its border with Azerbaijan that saw deadly fighting between the two warring nations in June, the Defense Ministry in Yerevan said on Thursday.
In a statement, the ministry said Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian on Wednesday visited the northeastern Tavush province bordering western Azerbaijan to inspect "large-scale construction work" carried out on the Armenian army's frontline positions there. It said Ohanian specifically checked "the reliability of defense fortifications."
"Seyran Ohanian spoke with soldiers on border posts and familiarized himself with their preparedness and morale," read the statement. "In his conversations, the minister emphasized that exemplary defense structures and posts have been constructed in the border area."
