/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Within 15 years of independence Armenia was able
to pass a long way of development, a way without serious upheaval,
as different from Georgia, head of the operation on liberation of
Shushi, major general Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan stated.
"However, as different from neighboring states, we do not have
friends. Azerbaijan has allied Turkey, which provides much assistance
to it. We were and we remain solitary. Only our Diaspora helps
us. The Armenian people are creators, and it relies only on itself,"
he remarked.
In the general's words, one of the major achievements of independent
Armenia is creation of strong, efficient army, which is the most
powerful in the region. "Azerbaijan constantly speaks of high rate of
development of economy, threatens us with increase of its military
budget, however the budget size does not decide everything and I do
not trust Baku official numbers. At that it should be understood
that Baku does not stay idle and prepares to a war. However, I am
convinced that in the coming few years hostilities are unlikely in
the conflict zone, as our army excels the Azeri one in alertness,"
Ter-Tadevosyan underscored, reports IA De-Facto.
