Armenian Armed Forces General Staff rep.: Armenian army able to hit military and economic, including oil and gas facilities of probable enemy

The Armenian army is able to hit military and economic, including oil and gas facilities of probable enemy, Head of the Operative Unit, the Armenian Armed Forces General Staff, Major General Artak Davtyan told media, Monday, when presenting the results of the strategic command and staff exercises of the Armenian Armed Forces on October 1-13. 

He said the Armenian Armed Forces are able to make surgical military strikes against the important facilities of the enemy in a distance of 300km and more. The past exercises included also such maneuvers.  Generally, Davtyan welcomed the high level of the exercises and called them unprecedented due to involvement of up to 45,000 militaries of the National Security and Police troops and nearly 5,000 units of military hardware, aircrafts, drone aircrafts made in Armenia and up-to-date anti-tank weapons.  "The tasks set to the manpower were fulfilled," he said.

In response to ArmInfo's question about the modernization trends of the enemy's armor and military hardware, Davtyan said that the Armenian Armed Forces leadership is following acquisition of new armor by the probable enemy and tries not to yield to it. 

"I'd like to say that the above anti-tank weapons of our army are designed for the fight against up-to-date models of tanks. I think that modernization and improvement of our arms and military hardware will keep growing," he said.

Russian attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities highlights need of strengthening European resolve

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack, writing on X that it proved that US and European sanctions against Russia should not be weakened. Russia launched more than 700 drones and missiles at Ukraine in multiple waves overnight from Wednesday to Thursday, killing at least 18 people in what local officials said was the deadliest attack in months. Ukraine's air force said on Thursday morning that Russia had launched 659 drones and 44 cruise and ballistic missiles in the prior 24 hours. It said that 636 drones and 31 missiles had been shot down - but there had been direct hits in 26 locations. (click picture to read more)

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Today, commonspace.eu starts a new regular weekly series. THURSDAY INTERVIEW, conducted by Lauri Nikulainen, will host  persons who are thinkers, opinion shapers, and implementors in their countries and spheres. We start the series with an interview with Murad Muradov, a leading person in Azerbaijan's think tank community. He is also the first co-chair of the Action Committee for a new Armenian-Azerbaijani Dialogue. Last September he made history by being the first Azerbaijani civil society activist to visit Armenia after the 44 day war, and the start of the peace process. Speaking about this visit Murad Muradov said: "My experience was largely positive. My negative expectations luckily didn’t play out. The discussions were respectful, the panel format bringing together experts from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey was particularly valuable during the NATO Rose-Roth Seminar in Yerevan, and media coverage, while varied in tone, remained largely constructive. Some media outlets though attempted to represent me as more of a government mouthpiece than an independent expert, which was totally misleading.  Overall, I see these initiatives as important steps in rebuilding trust and normalising professional engagement. The fact that soon a larger Azerbaijani civil society visits to Armenia followed, reinforces the sense that this process is moving in the right direction."
