Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian on Friday brushed aside Azerbaijan's apparent threats to shell Yerevan from its Nakhichevan exclave and warned Baku against raising tensions on the frontlines in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone.
In a statement on Thursday cited by Azerbaijani news agencies, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry commented on Ohanian's recent visit to Armenian army units stationed along Nakhichevan sections of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
"The leadership of Armenia must realize that from the territory of Nakhichevan the Azerbaijani armed forces are ready to destroy military facilities in Armenia, including Yerevan, at any moment," said the statement. It emphasized the fact their weaponry includes Russian-made Smerch multiple-launch rocket systems.
