Armenian commanders, soldier always ready to defend homeland - Rafael Gzoyan
13:32 * 16.08.14
In an interview with Tert.am, one of the Armenian commanders in the
Arstakh liberation war, Major General Rafael (Felix) Gzoyan spoke of
the situation on the Line of Contact and of his view of a settlement
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
He also spoke of Armenia's military potential and people's willingness
to defend their homeland.
"If a war breaks out, I will take anyone. If I go to war and they are
not with me, I will force them regardless of whose sons they are," Mr
Gzoyan said.
"By escalating tension on the threshold of political meetings
Azerbaijan aimed at escalating tension inside Armenia and
demonstrating its influence not only on Armenia, but also on the
international community, raising its troops' morale. But all the
attempts failed, because our armed forces are much more efficient and
they have been able to thwart all the acts of sabotage by Azerbaijan.
This is evidence that our commanders and soldiers are ready to win
victory in any military operations. And this small victory inspires
our freedom-fighters and young people. I am sure that they are willing
to defend the homeland if a war breaks out."
As regards the probability of war, Mr Gzoyan said:
"I do not think long-lasting peace will be established after the Sochi
meeting, so we must be ready to rebuff the enemy. I cannot say how
long the ceasefire will be. Our priority task is to improve our
troops' morale and efficiency."
