The Armenian military will do its best to prevent a fresh upsurge of fighting in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone during the upcoming European Games in Baku, Armenia's First Deputy Defense Minister Davit Tonoyan said on Tuesday.
Tonoyan also warned Azerbaijan against escalating tensions along the "line of contact" around Karabakh and the Armenian-Azerbaijani border after the Olympic-style games scheduled for June 12-28.
"Olympic games will be held in Baku and Armenian forces will display restraint until their end," he told Tert.am in an interview. "They are already showing restraint now, which is evident and visible. We are not provoking [skirmishes] or escalating the situation."
