Sargsyan warns Azerbaijan: War against Karabakh, Armenia will be "no flashmob"
Karabakh | 14.11.14 | 21:30
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has warned Azerbaijan against going
to war against Nagorno-Karabakh in the wake of a major incident in the
conflict zone that involved the shooting down of an Armenian military
helicopter by Azeri forces.
On the second day of his working visit to Nagorno-Karabakh, the
supreme commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Armenia attended the
closing of joint military drills of the Armenian and Karabakh military
codenamed Unity-2014. Tens of thousands of troops and a large amount
of military hardware had been engaged in the war games watched by the
Armenian and Karabakh political and military leadership.
Addressing the officers of both armies, President Sargsyan stressed
that there will be "redemption day" for Azerbaijan that he said is
"capable of destroying a helicopter that had found itself in a
difficult situation and did not pose any threat".
The Mi-24 helicopter that was on a training flight near the frontline
as part of the military exercises was shot down by Azeri troops on
November 12. Three members of the helicopter crew are presumed dead.
In his speech the Armenian president also praised the military for
their good service, saying that their professionalism has made "many
naïve people in Azerbaijan to change their opinion about war."
"They thought that fighting against Karabakh, Armenia is a short and
pleasant occupation, something like a flashmob when you gather, do
something, take pictures and go away. There will be no flashmob, no
pleasure and no walk in the park. I am sure that there will be no war
as long as there are you, as long as you are strong, as long as you
stand here," Sargsyan told the army officers.
