Apparently, Baku has not conceived essence of Deauville statement on Karabakh
June 3, 2011 - 20:15 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan cannot stop and continues rattling the
saboteur even against the background of the direct demand voiced in
Deauville on soonest and only peace resolution of the Karabakh
conflict. It appears that to calm down itself, Azerbaijan, represented
by Spokesperson for the Azerbaijani Defense Army Eldar Sabiroglu,
stated that its army `is the strongest one in South Caucasus and is
ready to fulfill any military instruction.'
It remains a secret for everyone, including international experts, on
which facts the statement is based. Early in 2011, a number of
assessments for fighting capacity of South Caucasus armed forces have
been provided by international experts as well as foreign media.
According to them, quantitative advantage is the only benefit the
Azeri army possesses. International Crisis Group noted that while
Azerbaijan has an obvious advantage in military spending, a variety of
other factors could give Armenia an edge. Morale and combat readiness
in Armenia's army is also generally considered to be higher than in
Azerbaijan's, which suffers from past defeats, extensive corruption
and a rigid chain of command. `Despite small territory and population,
Armenia's army is considered to be the most professional, efficient
and competent in the region,' an article published in Turkish
newspaper said.
The veiled and open threats to launch a war against Karabakh are
specifically absurd, taking into consideration the recent
developments, when the three superpowers directly involved in the
Karabakh conflict settlement stated that its resolution can no longer
be delayed, strongly urging the leaders of the sides to prepare their
populations for peace, not war.
Most likely, Azerbaijan has not understood the message of Russia,
France and the U.S. completely, considering it to be another
declarative and insignificant statement. It is also possible that
Azerbaijan is unwilling to conceive the message, seeing how it loses
the dream of starting a new war in Karabakh to check the efficiency of
weapons purchased liberally, as well as of `the strongest army in the
region,' the incompetence of which was once proved by the NKR armed
forces.
