I AWAIT WAR EVERY DAY - KARABAKH DEFENSE MINISTER
11:03, 20.08.2014
Even though a ceasefire was reached twenty years ago at the request
of Azerbaijan, the adversary's most recent acts of sabotage on the
Line of Contact showed yet again that its objective is to occupy the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) and establish control over Karabakh's
entire area.
NKR Defense Minister and Defense Army Commander Movses Hakobyan stated
the aforesaid to reporters.
As per Hakobyan, Azerbaijan still hopes to occupy Karabakh by
blackmailing the OSCE Minsk Group.
"The last twenty years have shown that the Azerbaijani side always
grows distant from the OSCE Minsk Group-proposed possible avenues
for the pacific settlement of the Karabakh issue," the NKR defense
minister said.
The minister also noted that, in recent years, Azerbaijan has invested
large sums in the country's armed forces, and on the account of its
oil, thus proving its intention to resolve the Karabakh issue by force.
"[But] the NKR Defense Army expects a resumption of military operations
by Azerbaijan. I wait for war every day, and the [NKR] army's goal
is to be ready for war," the minister stressed.
Movses Hakobyan added that in response to the arming of the Azerbaijani
armed forces, NKR is engaged in the training of soldiers and the
modernization of its arsenal.
