"The Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun is convinced
that if the war resumes Armenia will not only preserve the liberated
territories but also establish land and water borders with its
northern neighbour Russia," ARFD member and Deputy Speaker of the
National Assembly Hrair Karapetyan told a press conference today.

"If tomorrow Azerbaijan wages a war, it will face problems regarding
the seven liberated territories and its territorial integrity, in
general, problems which the country would not even dream of. They
also fear that Armenia might have land borders with its northern
neighbour one day. No matter how much they double their budget,
they cannot leave Armenia behind, I assure you," said Hrair Karapetyan.

According to the ARF Dashnaktsutyun member all generals of CIS
countries have noticed the fighting capacity of our army. Unlike
Aliyev, Serzh Sargsyan is "a modest and decent person," therefore he
does not wish to harm the negotiation process with response statements.

"Azerbaijan’s army is in a grave psychological state today. Everybody
knows that their army is not organised and is undisciplined."

"The Azerbaijani army is not a bit stronger. Our army is effective,
and if Azerbaijan launches a war, it should be mindful that this time
Armenia may advance so as to set up land communication with Russia,"
reiterated Hrair Karapetyan who was much concerned over the panic
in Armenia.

Hrair Karapetyan tried to dispel the rumours about "concession"
policy on the settlement of the Karabakh issue.

"According to Hrayr Karapetyna, in any case one should not forget that
panic negatively affects the settlement process and moral-psychological
condition of the Armenian nation. "It’s not like 1988 today. Karabakh
is not question number one for the Armenian society," he said,
adding that Armenians will again win due to their invincible spirit
if a new war is launched. The peaceful resolution of the conflict
is not exhausted until the negotiations are underway. The recent
Georgian-Ossetian conflict proved that aggressors lose in the given
international situation.
