  • Sargsyan: Don't See War in Near Future but War Will Not Take Us Abac

    I Do Not See War Threat in Near Future but a War Will Not Take Us
    Aback: Serzh Sargsyan

    11:13 - 10.04.10


    In an April 9 visit to Tavush marz (province) Armenia's President
    Serzh Sargsyan said that there has always been a war threat and that
    the country will not be taken aback, should a war be unleashed.

    `Can you tell me any time that there has not been a war threat? Now we
    are in a cross border marz [region]. Just ask about it these people
    here. There was such threat in '95, in 2000, in 2005 and, yes, such
    threat exists also today, and there will be such threat unless peace
    and stability are established in the region,' said Sargsyan.

    According to him the point is that the threat of war becomes more
    tangible for Armenians in two occasions: when the Azerbaijani make
    bellicose statements and when some political powers in Armenia attempt
    to use it for their benefit.

    `I do not see a war threat in the near future, though you may remember
    that I have stated in several occasions that the defense minister must
    always suppose that just tomorrow military actions may start ... Our
    army can fight. I am repeating it again, may it never happen, but if
    it does happen, we will not be taken aback,' said Sargsyan.
