ARMENIA NOT BEHIND AZERBAIJAN IN TERMS OF MILITARY RESOURCES
22:13 * 14.07.14
Much has recently been spoken of Azerbaijan's military purchases.
According to the APA news agency, Azerbaijan has purchased about
1,000 rocket launchers over the past 12 years.
In an interview with Tert.am, Spokesman for Armenia's Ministry
of Defense Artsrun Hovhannisyan gave assurances that Armenia is
replenishing its military resources.
"The balance is being maintained on the front line in the best way.
The situation on the front line mirrors it," he said.
Major-General Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan does not think there is a threat
of war now. As to Azerbaijan's acts of sabotage, he said that "they
do not have anything in common with battle."
With respect to military resources, Ter-Tadevosyan said that Armenia
is replenishing them and organizes drills.
"Although they have much military equipment, but the human factor,
battle readiness and morale are the most important in battle," he said.
According to him, the Armenian side has a much higher level in terms
of the aforementioned factors.
Chairman of the Artsakh patriotic union, Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) parliamentary group member Hamlet Harutyunyan does not
think resumption of hostilities is unlikely now because it is not
only Azerbaijan's will - there are international commitments and a
ceasefire agreement.
"Military equipment does not mean anything. I participated in the war
and I know that it is ammunition that needs to be regularly supplied.
If they military equipment, we have the same as well."
"I think Azerbaijanis are well aware of the after math of resuming
hostilities. And their advantage in the arms race is more intended
as PR in Azerbaijan's army."
