"Our soldiers and officers immediately take and will further take
revenge of their killed fellow soldiers"
Baku. Hafiz Heydarov - APA. Azerbaijani Defense Minister, Colonel
General Zakir Hasanov commented on recent incidents on the contact
line, APA reports.
The Minister said in his interview with Azerbaijan newspaper that
today Azerbaijan is in a state of war with Armenia and though more
than 20 years passed since the ceasefire was declared, the Armenian
side, violating the international laws, keeps our territories under
its occupation, is continuously violating the ceasefire and its
reconnaissance and sabotage groups are trying to attack our posts
on the frontline. "The enemy snipers are firing at our military
servicemen, civilians and damaging our facilities and agricultural
areas. We should respond to the enemy in the same way and we are doing
it. I want you to be absolutely sure that our armed units immediately
respond to them and the enemy suffers losses. Our soldiers and officers
immediately take and will further take revenge of their killed fellow
soldiers", he said.
The Minister said along with the constant violation of ceasefire on
the contact line of troops, Armenian armed units are firing on the
border regions, villages and settlements of Azerbaijan, wounding
and killing civilians: "We are very concerned about it. They are
mainly firing on the Azerbaijani residential settlements in Gazakh,
Aghstafa, Tovuz, Gadabay and Dashkasan regions from their posts
located in Ijevan, Noyemberyan, Berd and Krasnoselsk regions of
Armenia. The enemy aims to expand the occupied zone and demonstrates
its aggressive appearance. However, international organizations remain
silent. We can also act as Armenia, destroy any military facility and
residential settlement in this country. We have all the opportunities
for doing it. However, the principles of humanity and our people's
higher feelings of humanity keep us from doing it. What is the fault
of civilians, children, women and old people?
Hasanov called on the international organizations: "We draw attention
of Europe, the world, international human rights organizations, OSCE,
European Union, PACE and UN Security Council to this issue once again.
We demand to put an end to the tyranny of Armenia. We demand the
withdrawal of Armenian forces from the occupied territories of
Azerbaijan. As the situation become tense on the frontline, citizens
wishing to go to war appeal to the Defense Ministry. It arises from
our people's hatred for the enemy and wishes to liberate our lands.
Holding large-scale exercises with the use of modern methods at all
levels in the formation and units of the Armed Forces is a warning
to the enemy and it has become military way of life for us.
I want to assure our people that the personnel of the Armed Forces
are capable of fulfilling the task guided by the idea - "Azerbaijan
will not permit the establishment of a second Armenian state in
its historical lands" of President of the Republic of Azerbaijan,
Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Mr. Ilham Aliyev and
we have all the opportunities for doing it", said Minister Hasanov.
