Artak, a commander defending the border of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic in the northeastern direction, is certain that the Armenian nation has always had good soldiers and that even today, 18-19-year-old soldiers showed that we Armenians have always been strong and can counterattack the opponent at any given moment. This is what the commander said during a news conference, responding to yerkir.am’s question on whether the soldiers of today surpass even the freedom fighters of the Artsakh war with their spirit and combat readiness.

According to the Artak, the four-day war showed that Azerbaijan is not capable of anything. “Azerbaijani soldiers are cowards, while our soldiers are brave, ready to fight, have a great spirit and are ready to perform any task,” the commander said.

When asked what a soldier gets out of social consolidation, he said it lifts the spirits of the soldiers even higher and improves the moral and psychological situation of the army and even makes the soldiers feel protected.

“Parents don’t need to worry. The commanders are in their places and stand with the soldiers. I personally spend nights with the soldiers in the trench,” Artak said.

He talked about the courageous acts of tankers, particularly one of the soldiers, who is Tatul Krpeyan’s nephew, who is a tanker. Artak said when he entered the battlefield, the Azerbaijanis escaped when they saw him.
