SAYING AZERBAIJAN WANTS WAR ABSURD - ARKADY TADEVOSYAN
10:45 * 14.08.14
In an interview with Tert.am, Artsakh war hero, Major General Arkady
Tadevosyan spoke of the recent tensions on the Armenian-Azerbaijani
border, probability of hostilities, Armenian army's preparedness and
weak points of the Azerbaijani armed forces.
"You had better ask the enemy if they are ready for war. Do you think
[Azerbaijani President Ilham] Aliyev is a perfect fool to pay for
war from his profit? They are on the oil, and if anything is blown up
Azerbaijan will find itself underground. True, our people will suffer
as well, but we have no such facilities to suffer such losses. I
am well aware of this. And war does not depend on either Azerbaijan
or us. Rather, it depends on those in control of everything. It is
absurd to say that Azerbaijan want war. Tension will continue for a
long period, and we should not be panicky."
Azerbaijan has no national army.
"They have no national army. We are a nation and want to defend our
homeland. Just hear what Azerbaijani mothers are saying. 'We do not
need Karabakh, we need our children.' But our soldiers' fathers were
soldiers themselves, soldiers of a victorious army. Their soldiers'
relatives lost that war. And one more factor: relations between
soldiers and officers in their army. Minister Seyran Ohanyan improved
the situation in our army. He has done tremendous work. But they have
numerous problems in this field."
