Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev recently said in Washington that
Azerbaijan is taking an active part in anti-terrorist operations in
Iraq while Armenia is sending only drivers there.

Armenian Deputy Defence Minister Artur Agabekyan thinks that only a
person who has no idea about military service and the importance of
transport in a conflict zone could make such a statement.

Noting that the command of the multinational division has expressed
its gratitude to Armenian servicemen for implementing their task in
Iraq, Artur Agabekyan advised Azerbaijani TV to show the valour of
their servicemen and refrain from statements against Armenia.
