Those positions we have taken were ours. The Turk captured them during Seyran Ohanyan's time. General’s revelation.

According to the "Hraparak" newspaper, "We inquired about whether retired Lieutenant General Norat Ter-Grigoryants, who made a significant contribution to the formation of the Armenian armed forces during the Artsakh liberation struggle from 1992 to 1995, is aware of what positions we have taken in Tavush. The general made an almost sensational statement, saying, 'Excuse me… these positions, when I was building the army, were our positions. When Seyran Ohanyan was the Minister of Defense, it was during his time that the Turk captured those positions. And our heroic soldiers, generals, and officers heroically returned our positions. And these positions must be held, they must not be allowed to be taken, because every height has strategic importance. It is through these heights that complete control of the territory is achieved.'

Retired Lieutenant General and scientific expert in international anti-terrorism Hayk Kotanjyan made rather gloomy predictions regarding the joint military planning and other actions of the Turkish and Azerbaijani general staffs. He did not even rule out the danger of a second genocide against Armenians by these states, for which he proposed that the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group and three permanent members of the UN Security Council—Russia, the USA, and France—revisit the negotiation agenda regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict using their cosmic means of satellite reconnaissance and space monitoring methods.

Norat Ter-Grigoryants also believes that from a neighboring aggressive state, whose president blatantly conducts military operations everywhere and seizes territories, anything can be expected. He stated, 'And the world is silent: the UN is silent, the CSTO is silent, the presidents are silent, the NATO leadership is silent, and the USA is silent as well. And this silence gives those insolent ones the opportunity to first conduct a hybrid, propaganda war, then light fire, and then large-scale operations. Anything can be expected from these insolent aggressors, as long as they are not stopped yet.'

Norat Ter-Grigoryants also considers the CSTO's lack of response to these incidents to be misguided.
