Republican Party of Armenia MP Karen Avagyan doesn't see a risk of
war when it comes to bellicose statements made by Azerbaijani leaders.
"We have always been hearing those bellicose statements that are being
voiced today," said Avagyan at a press conference today, adding that
time has proven that those statements are merely talk and no action.
Avagyan also mentioned that Armenia has never avoided war, it is
always ready for a war, if need be, though Armenia is for peaceful
negotiations.
Heritage Party faction leader Stepan Safaryan, also present at the
press conference, said he did not share Avagyan's view.
"Next to those [statements], we have an ongoing arms race and many
more violations of the ceasefire regime [than before]," said Safaryan,
adding that all the above-mentioned are serious risks for war resuming.
Avagyan countered by saying, "Azerbaijan may, perhaps, have the desire
to [re]start a war, but it will not be allowed to do so. Styopa
[affectionately referring to Stepan Safaryan], those are just
statements."
"Politics is built on statements and actions," replied Safaryan,
saying that they're not just statements.
