  • BAKU: Armenia can make provocations to check Azerbaijani army's capa

    Armenia can make provocations to check Azerbaijani army's capability,
    NGO head says

    By Elchin Mehdiyev - Trend:


    The recent situation on the contact line between Azerbaijani and
    Armenian troops proves once again that the Armenian government did not
    abandon its provocative policy, head of "Youth Development Support"
    "Dushunce" public association Emil Huseynli told Trend on August 2.

    "Such provocations on the frontline occur throughout the year, but
    this time it is a large-scale provocation," he said.

    "Apparently, Serzh Sargsyan's government is trying to direct public
    attention to the frontline to insure against a revolution that may
    start as a result of socio-economic crisis," he added. "On the other
    hand, Azerbaijan's increasing military and political power annoys
    Armenia."

    "These provocations may be committed to check the Azerbaijani army's
    capability," he added.
    Huseynli said that Armenia suffered more losses than Azerbaijan in
    local battles.

    "The Armenian Defense Ministry does not mention the exact number of
    victims and does not inform the public in details," he said. "This
    means that the loss of Armenia is many more than that of Azerbaijan."

    "The recent events have shown once again the power of the Azerbaijani
    army," he added. "The Armenian government has realized that Azerbaijan
    may liberate the occupied territories at any time."

    Armenian armed forces launched a diversion on the night of July
    31-August 1, when reconnaissance and sabotage groups tried to cross
    the contact line of the Azerbaijani and Armenian troops through the
    territories of Aghdam and Terter regions.

    Armenia's reconnaissance and sabotage group attacked the positions of
    Azerbaijani armed forces in the direction of Azerbaijan's Aghdam and
    Agdere regions on the night of August 1-2.

    According to the Azerbaijani defense ministry, the effort was revealed
    and prevented in time, by Azerbaijani armed forces.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result
    of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent
    of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven
    surrounding districts.

    The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
    of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently
    holding peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.
