NKR DEFENSE MINISTER. "THEIR GOAL WAS FOR US TO DECLARE MOBILIZATION" (VIDEO)
August 21 2014
Confirmation of relative ceasefire was only the grace of our soldiers.
"They wanted us to declare mobilization, and if we had declared,
our economy would fall behind not a few months, maybe a year. They
were trying to direct the attack aircraft in our direction, they did
turn flights in our front line, were trying emotionally to affect our
soldiers, army and society. But, today, you also became a witness that
this did not have any effect on us. They brought their aircraft, and
when our anti-air defense unit stood up, their aircraft pulled back.
They brought tanks, and when our armored units went to the tank
lines, they again pulled back. It was a blackmail from them, and the
blackmail lasted pretty short. Since August 5, all units that they
had brought to the first line were pulled back," to the question of
what made Azerbaijan to start and then finish the large-scale attack
in late July and early August, NKR Defense Minister, Movses Hakobyan,
among a few reasons, mentioned also this one at the press conference
in Stepanakert, yesterday, in the evening. Movses Hakobyan does not
think that stopping of shooting was the result of the presidents'
meeting in Sochi. "Peace was reaffirmed by our soldiers. Relative
peace has already been established on August 5, it is not the matter
that a command was issued from the top." But, on the other hand,
he admitted that the meeting had its effect later when keeping
this relative peace. The minister spoke with pride of our wonderful
results of our armored group in the Biathlon World Cup. "For me, they
won not the second, but the first place. They took the second place,
but I consider it the first. Our tank-drivers gave us a great reason
to be proud of. And we got our desired tank a gift, and I hope that
we will soon have it."
