“First of all, we ensure their military security, both during their work on the ground as well as during their transit. We also cooperate around other issues set before us, I highly appreciate the cooperation. I can also say that they are fulfilling their objectives,” Asryan said.
Speaking about the situation in the section of the Tegh village, the Chief of the General Staff said the Armenian troops there already have a frontline and the positions are being improved.
