The Azerbaijani forces have suffered more than five losses in
their recent act of sabotage against Armenia, according to Artsrun
Hovhannisyan, a military expert.
At a news conference on Monday, Hovhannisyan said that yesterday's
armed attack against the Amrenian positions actually left 25
Azerbaijani killed.
"It is known to all that the actual [toll] exceeds several times the
figures represented by the Azerbaijani side. We have learned from out
sources that they have 25 victims," he said, denying the reports on
the death of five Azeri servicemen.
According to him, 10 deaths per one Armenian soldier is considered
quite normal for Azerbaijan.
"By resorting to provocation, they turn out to be aware that the
Armenian side is ready to resist, which means they are ready to lose
more servicemen," he said.
Hovhannisyan said the problem is not only between Azerbaijan and
Nagorno-Karabakh or Armenia but also between Armenia and Turkey given
that the same saboteurs are also trained in Turkey.
"The acts of provocation are of subversive character, while it is
absolutely no news that those resorting to such steps are Turkish
resources, that very probably involve the Turkish side [in their
operations]," he said, considering the Turkish high military command's
current visit to Baku not absolutely accidental.
The expert noted further that Azerbaijan's reports on five victims
were intended for the US Secretary with the purpose of demonstrating
that Azerbaijan too can suffer losses.
