    NATO REPRESENTATIVE: "AZERBAIJAN HAS REALLY ESTABLISHED AN ARMY WHICH IS READY TO CONDUCT OFFENSIVE"

    Azerbaijan

    After Day.Az has posted information about the visit of Azerbaijani
    deputies to the frontline regions, it has received a call from a
    senior official of NATO from Brussels, who said he always reads
    Russian language e- mass medias of the South Caucasus states.

    Asking not to mention his name, he dictated the comment on the
    statement of Milli Medjlis deputy Baba Taghiyev about the ability of
    the Azerbaijani army to liberate all the occupied lands of Azerbaijan
    "within 48 hours". Below, is the text of the comment of the NATO
    commander.

    "It seems that the deputy spoke in a figural sense when he stated
    the ability of the Azerbaijani army to liberate the lands just
    in two days", said he. "Even the NATO army is unable to do this
    wonder. And the matter is not the power of the armed forces of
    Armenia, now occupying Nagorno Karabakh and seven other regions of
    Azerbaijan. The matter is that though the statements about the power
    of the Armenian armed forces have been exaggerated even considering
    the free supplies of the Russian military hardware, well-known even
    without publications in the Georgian press, the front units of the
    Azerbaijani army will hardly manage to reach the Armenian-Azerbaijani
    borders within 48 hours due to the complex landscape and numerous
    mine fields and other military and technical obstacles. Well, they
    can just have a trip around an empty Karabakh.

    We are closely watching the armament process of the two countries. The
    Azerbaijani army has really grown stronger over the past years. Your
    country has really created an army which is able to hold offensive on
    the background of which the Armenian army does not seem significant
    any more. Today's relative index, we use in NATO, is absolutely not
    the same that we used before reconciliation, when there was almost no
    regular Azerbaijani army, while Armenian formations invaded almost
    empty settlements of lower Karabakh. Those times are far behind
    and now you have a real army, which is able not only to defend the
    remaining part of your territory but also to conduct offensive.

    Anyway, the statements of your deputy should be perceived in a figural
    sense like the statements of Armenian generals about the ability
    of the Armenian armed forces to move further and hold hostilities
    inside Azerbaijan. Both parties need to calm down, though Armenians
    have to worry more and more. In this sense, we really think that in
    the tactical sense the years of reconciliation worked in your favor,
    Armenian army is no longer able to hold offensive without facing
    resistance. Time continues to work in your favor, but you have not
    yet reached the critical overbalance".
