Azerbaijan does not have enough potential to win a possible war
against Armenia, says a legendary hero of the Nagorno-Karabakh
(Artsakh) liberation war.
Commenting on the recent clashes on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border,
an ex-deputy minister of defense, Major General Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan
(aka Komandos) told Tert.am that Azerbaian's propaganda aims to
convince its society that the country is capable of occupying Karanakh.
According to him, the Azerbaijani authorities have partially succeeded
in their efforts to drive Armenia to anxiety.
"They seek to cause such anxiety, disseminating reports that they
will attack," he said, adding that the acts of provocation aim to
achieve such effect.
Ter-Tadevosyan said that the Azerbaijani armed forces are not powerful
enough to resume the war over Karabakh.
"That is the first thing to say, and after all, it is necessary to
remember that Azerbaijan has numerous ethnic groups on its territory,
who do not want to fight for the country. They have their own
problems," he added.
As for the cross-border tensions, the major-general said they are
likely to continue in future unless the Armenia resorts to retaliation.
He then called upon the society to assist in such efforts by proposing
steps to the Defense Ministry.
