Karabakh conflict remains military threat to Armenia - defense
minister
YEREVAN Nov 27
The Karabakh conflict remains the main military threat to Armenia,
Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian said at a seminar of the
Harvard University Black Sea security program.
"The Karabakh conflict and the absence of coordinated legal
fundamentals of the conflict settlement remain the main military
threat to Armenia," press secretary of the minister, Col. Seyran
Shahsuvarian, quoted Ohanian.
"We are also concerned about the Azerbaijani policy of mobilization
and the arms race, which aims for superiority over Armenia under the
disguise of military reforms and resolution of the Karabakh conflict
by military force," he said.
"The blockade of Armenia by two neighbor states [Azerbaijan and
Turkey], plans for Armenia's isolation, destabilization in the South
Caucasus and the escalation of existent and latent conflicts also pose
a military threat to Armenia," the minister noted.
