BOTH SIDES 'SHOULD BE READY' FOR WAR OVER GARABAGH
Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan

Baku, April 11, AssA-Irada
The Armenian Defense Minister Serzh Sarkisian has said Azerbaijan and
Armenia should be prepared for a possible resumption of hostilities
over Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh.
"Both countries' defense ministries should be ready for the launch
of military action either tomorrow, or in two days," he said.
The conflicting sides failed to agree upon the issues of principle
during the negotiations between Presidents Ilham Aliyev and Robert
Kocharian in Rambouillet, France in February, which was followed by
Azerbaijan's threats to use force to liberate its territories from
under occupation.
As for the ceasefire violations on the frontline that have become
frequent of late, Sarkisian regarded this as "natural".
"The gunshots have always been heard and there is no difference where
they are fired from," the Armenian minister alleged.
