Hovhannisyan: For tactical and operational needs, the Defense Army  carries out both a retreat and a counteroffensive

ArmInfo.For tactical and operational necessity, the Defense Army carries out both a retreat and a counter-offensive. Representative of the Armenian Ministry of  Defense Artsrun Hovhannisyan wrote about this on his Facebook page,  urging not to pay attention to the enemy's messages about the  occupation of settlements.

"I several times touched upon the issue that the designation of clear  positions, boundaries, even settlements at this stage of the war is  not so appropriate. There is a heavy war, the Armenian army is  fighting heavy battles against several times superior  Turkish-Azerbaijani forces, which are fully supported Turkish  aviation, intelligence and other systems, a large number of  mercenaries, terrorists and private military organizations. These  superior forces are opposed by the Armenian army with great success,  with such success that even world experts note it. For tactical and  operational needs, the Defense Army carries out as a retreat, and a  counteroffensive. Let us trust our army, we will undoubtedly win, "he   wrote.
