/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The most important task of the Armenian Armed
Forces is to prevent any violation of the ceasefire established in
1994, military expert Ruben Meghrabyan stated in an interview with
PanARMENIAN.Net. In his words, the Azeri Armed Forces have the same
task, added to rearmament, multiplication of military potential in
an aspiration to change the status quo in their favor with a final
purpose to restore the territorial integrity so much spoken about
by the military and political leadership of the neighbor state. "I
will not reveal a secret by saying that the Armenian army performs
its main task while the Azeri side confines to the first part only.
The fact is that over 12 years the ceasefire is maintained without
any dividing force. Parity has been established and the Armenian
side is not interested in change of military-geographical and
military-political status quo in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone
while the Azeri side doesn’t possess sufficient power to change the
status quo unfavorable for it," he said.
Ruben Meghrabyan remarked that these are two mini-soviet armies. "Here
function the same soviet general regulations and laws, the same closed
regime ruling out any civil control. The same huge expenses and absence
of reserve training. As a matter of fact these two armies are "deeply
soviet" and are efficient to the extent their soviet prototype was,"
Meghrabyan said.
