Border tensions persist because the Karabakhi conflict settlement
has reached an impasse, with the Armenians not going to cede lands to
Azerbaijan and Azerbaijan not going to give up its claims, Crusaders
squad founding member Shahe Atchemyan, 52, said on Monday, adding
that in this case "a war is inevitable".
A new upsurge of violence in the Karabakh conflict zone occurred last
week after the latest raid by Azerbaijani commandos against Armenian
positions that left three Armenian soldiers killed and four wounded.
The Azerbaijani side suffered losses as well.
"The Karabakh conflict settlement has come to a dead-end - negotiations
are unnecessary. Neither Azerbaijan agrees to a compromise, nor
Armenians, when nobody compromises Azerbaijan tries to apply any sort
of action to make trouble," Atchemyan told reporters Monday.
According to the veteran, the assumptions that the Armenian side is
weak because they have regular victims are not right, because if it
were weak it would have 33 victims, instead of 3.
"If only the veterans could and the youngsters knew. However
inexperienced they are, there are experienced officers standing by
them, the officers run ahead right next to ordinary soldiers. We,
the veterans, are ready to die in a large-scale war, just to save
those young," he said, addressing concerns that untrained youths are
taken to protect the borders.
The health condition of one of the four injured soldiers, meanwhile,
remains critical, the health of the other three is said to be stable.
Besides, on Sunday the Karabakh Defense Army said that on March 22
Andranik Grigoryan, a serviceman from an unidentified military base,
for yet unclear reasons left his arms and ammunition at the military
post and crossed the front line, appearing on the opponent's side. A
criminal case was filed, and in another military base serviceman,
sergeant Hayk Margaryan died suddenly. A forensic examination has
been appointed.
