Armenian defense minister has repeatedly made threatening speeches
on Azerbaijan, but these are all nothing more than rhetoric.
His opinions should be considered a statement addressed to the internal
audience and the Armenian community".
Spokesman for Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry, Lieutenant-Colonel Vagif
Dargahli told APA while commenting on the speech made by Armenian
Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan at the parliament yesterday.
Dargahli noted that Ohanyan blames Azerbaijan for all existing problems
in Armenia, introduces the Armenian Armed Forces as a structure that
is capable of taking all preventive measures and offers to withdraw
snipers from the contact line, build mutual trust between the parties,
take measures against the Azerbaijani Armed Forces and launch a
counterattack if necessary: "The Armenian side, as always, tries to
shift the blame on Azerbaijan by organizing various provocations and
in order to conceal his actions appeals to international organizations
as a victim. However, Armenia, breaking international laws, is still
keeping our territories under occupation, constantly violating the
ceasefire, trying to make reconnaissance-subversive attacks on the
front line, firing at our soldiers and civilians and harming civilian
objects and agricultural areas. One of the main objectives of the
Armenian provocation is Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, an integral
part of Azerbaijan".
The official recalled that according to the Decree signed by Supreme
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Ilham Aliyev
on December 18, 2013 on strengthening the defense capability of
Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, increasing the combat capability of
the Armed Forces' units, creating Nakhchivan Army Special Forces in
order to improve the central management, presenting military flags
to military units, strengthening their material-technical bases and
supplying with arms and ammunition, most modern combat equipment,
aviation and artillery units clearly prove that how much Azerbaijan
attaches importance to this region from the strategic point of view.
"The Azerbaijani Armed Forces have been supplied with modern weapons
with high accuracy and destroying capacity, combat and transport
helicopters, modern air-defense equipment, armored vehicles, tanks
and artillery units. It is enough only to note that "Smerch" missile
volley-fire systems in Nakhchivan are capable of destroying any target
on the territory of Armenia", he said.
Dargahli noted that the fighting spirit and will, logistical support
and combat capability of the staff of the units and formations of
the Azerbaijani Armed Forces in Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic allow
preventing enemy's attempt and taking response measures.
