    ARMENIAN ARMED FORCES GENERAL STAFF CHIEF: IF BAKU LAUNCHES WAR IT WILL LOSE


    10.05.2005 06:34

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The tension at the contact line between the Armenian and
    Azeri Armed Forces is preserved. As Deputy Defense Minister, Chief of the
    General Staff of the Armed Forces of Armenia, colonel general Mikayel
    Harutyunian stated, Azeri leaders' aggressive statements cause the tension
    at the contact line. At that in his words, there are no abrupt changes at
    the contact line. `There is skirmish, there were a few victims and wounded
    from our side. However, it is not the number the Azeri party points out, but
    10 times less,' Harutyunian emphasized adding that `there are many victims
    from the Azeri side and the Armenian party has specific data about it.' The
    Armenian general advised that the Azeri leadership refrain from militarist
    statements, as these automatically transfer to the officer personnel and the
    soldiers at the frontline, which entails the tension. `As a result they get
    many corpses and this refers not only to skirmish. Cases of mass beating of
    soldiers in Azeri troops are registered, as well as mass desertion,' he
    informed. `I advise to calm down for the front line to become calm and it
    will allow to solve the problem via peaceful means,' Mikayel Harutyunian
    accentuated. `The Armenian Armed Forces are ready to fulfill the tasks posed
    at them. I am sure that if Baku launches a war, it will lose. I have always
    said and I will keep saying - and this is not boasting - that we are
    well-informed about the combat efficiency of the Azeri Armed Forces and we
    are convinced that by starting a war they will lose not only the war, but
    also many lands and people,' the Armenian General Staff chief summed up,
    reported Regnum news agency.
