PanARMENIAN.Net - Head of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry's press
office, Eldar Sabiroglu, who never participated in military operations
is not competent enough to assess the fighting efficiency of the
Azerbaijani army, an Armenian political analyst said.
Earlier, Sabiroglu described the Azerbaijani army as the strongest in
the South Caucasus.
`Theoretic assumptions which originate from defective knowledge sound
ridiculous,' head of Voskanapat analytical center Levon
Melik-Shahnazaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
`Azerbaijani armed forces were never victorious. During the years of
Karabakh war, the only `success' of Azerbaijan was the seizure of
Shahumyan and Getashen, an operation that became possible only with
the help of the soviet divisions. As to the real `strength' of the
Azeri army, it was clearly demonstrated after withdrawal of the soviet
troops,' he said.
