Artsakh army can shift military actions deep into the aggressor's
territories: Bako Sahakyan
12:13 - 31.07.10
The use of force and the resumption of military actions should never
be ruled out when it comes to the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict especially given the presence of a belligerent Azerbaijan and
anti-Armenian propaganda there, President of Artsakh Republic Bako
Sahakyan said at an interview with Interfax, pointing to continuous
violations of the ceasefire agreement from the Azerbaijani part as a
supportive argument of what he said.
"But the probability of widespread military operations is small. First
of all, there is quite an effective balance of force between the
conflicting parties. Secondly, the war has unpredictable consequences,
and the international community, particularly the mediator countries
would hardly be interested in the unpredictability and instability in
a strategically important region like the South Caucasus," said he.
At the same time Mr Sahakyan mentioned that Artsakh's Defense Army has
a very high level of military preparedness and cannot only resist a
potential aggression but also replace military actions deep into the
aggressor's territories if need be.
"But a settlement of the Karabakhi-Azerbaijani conflict by force is
the one that has fewer perspectives, and the experience of the
previous war has shown that. For that reason it is necessary that we
spend our effort to prevent the resumption of military actions and
resolve the issue at the table of negotiations. Knowing the war from
our own experience we appreciate peace far more," said Mr Sahakyan.
