/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish-Azerbaijani joint operation in Nagorno
Karabakh is impossible, said retired Lieutenant General Yasar
Demirbulag, former chief of Air Forces intelligence office.
He said he heard such purposes at times, when he served as a military
adviser in Azerbaijan. "Then they asked for Turkish helicopters
to evacuate the peaceful population from Kelbajar. I said it was
impossible.
War is not a baby game. Azerbaijan should strengthen its anti-aircraft
defense in current situation. This issue needs a serious approach if
Nagorno Karabakh anti-aircraft system is a part of the CIS Collective
Anti-Aircraft System," he said.
"Expectations from OSCE and UN are credulity. I have never seen any
examples in history. If Azerbaijan wants to own Karabakh, it should
use armed forces. It is necessary to build strong army. The ground
attacks are not enough and air forces should be used with maximum
effect. The regular army must be strengthened," Demirbulag said,
the Azeri Press Agency reports.
