/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Baku’s statements on resumption of hostilities in
Nagorno Karabakh are nothing but pseudo-patriotism, RA NA Speaker
Tigran Torosian told a news conference June 22. "The Azeri leadership
doesn’t really wish resumption of war. Baku perfectly realizes that
number of planes and tanks doesn’t predetermine outcome of war," he
said. "When the war started they had advantage against Armenia and
Karabakh. Azerbaijan targeted gigantic stores of ammunition and tank
columns against Karabakh, everything in vain," the Speaker said.

He bound the frequency of militaristic statements in Azerbaijan with
the forthcoming electoral processes.

Baku doesn’t want settlement of the conflict, since it knows that
Karabakh will never be a part of Azerbaijan, Torosian said. Besides,
the Azeri authorities direct the flows of petrodollars to the
military budget, at that explaining the poverty of the people by the
unsettlement of the conflict, he said.

When touching upon the prospects of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement Tigran Torosian said that giving up or at least considerable
reduction of anti-Armenian propaganda may create a precondition for
it, IA Regnum reports.
