He noted that they were "still ready to give a decent rebuff to the occupying forces".

We know the price of "bread", "school" and many other announced ceasefire regimes. I want to assure everyone, we really want peace, but let our peace not mislead the enemy and not be seen as a weakness. We are always ready to adequately repel the enemy!" - the lieutenant general emphasized.

In addition, according to him, the provision of security by the JFO, according to the participants of the peace process, opens the way to a political settlement.
