The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said it would give a very sharp and
adequate to defend the Mingachevir Hydroelectric Power Plant after
Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan recently said that Armenian
armed forces were going to sabotage it.
Azerbaijan has warned Armenia against any attempts to sabotage its
Mingachevir Hydroelectric Power Plant, following days of unrest
along the border, with shoot-outs between soldiers claiming a number
of lives.
The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said it would give a very sharp
and adequate to defend the facility, after Armenian Defense Minister
Seyran Ohanyan recently said that Armenian armed forces were going
to sabotage it.
"The Azerbaijani Armed Forces are capable of striking any military
facility located in the territories occupied by the enemy or in Armenia
itself. The people of Armenia should know that such provocations
will lead to more severe consequences for them," the ministry said
in a statement.
According to Azernews, the ministry also said it was capable of
fulfilling the order to wipe the Armenian capital city Yerevan off
the face of the earth with missiles.
Sporadic fighting has continued along the border since July 31, a flare
up of tensions that have existed since Armenia made territorial claims
on the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region in 1988, which culminated in
all-out war between the two south Caucasus nations in 1992.
Despite a ceasefire signed in 1994, the two neighbors are still
technically at war as negotiations continue 20 years on. However,
Armenia's refusal to implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region makes
lasting peace appear unlikely to take shape in the near future.
