The threat of Azerbaijan's use of missile equipment and air force
against Armenia, which formerly gave military advantage to Azerbaijan,
has been neutralized, and the possibility of Azerbaijan's victory
has been reduced to minimum, military expert David Jamalyan told
reporters in Yerevan.
In his words, Armenia's arsenal was replenished in late 2010, mostly
with air defense equipment.
"To win a war nowadays it is important to have aviation, air force
and air defense equipment," Jamalyan said.
The military expert expressed confidence that tension on the front
contact lines will be kept in 2011.
"Minor clashes will occur, with political implications, to ensure
substantiation of Aliyev's statements," Jamalyan said adding that
nothing more than violation of ceasefire regime can be expected
since Azerbaijan is not ready for a war and should answer before the
international community.
According to military expert Artsrun Hovhannisyan, last year we clearly
saw that Azerbaijani diversion groups did not have any serious success.
"If Azerbaijan is convinced it is well armed, then Armenia is
sufficiently armed. Armenia can give response to any armament of
Azerbaijan. I don't think a reasonable leader will make such an
adventure since Azerbaijan has not sufficient quality growth and
level to make war," Hovhannisyan said.
