ArmInfo. Strengthening of Armenians’ position on the front line
is interrelated with Armenian President Serzh Sagsyan’s visit to
Nagorno-Karabakh, ‘the known military expert’ Uzeyir Jafarov said in
an interview with a ‘site, which just informs’.
‘This is true to a certain extent.. Because, Sezh Sargsyan, besides
being president of Armenia, is also Supreme Commander of the country.
Moreover, we must not forget that the current Armenian president came
into power whilst there was a war in Nagorno-Karabakh. Especially
because, as I noted above, the current actions of the Armenian
army consistent with the policies pursued by country’s highest
political leadership which are aimed at delaying fair settlement
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict’, – the ‘known military expert’
said. Then he said that it is hardly possible that Armenia may start
battle actions and added, who knows why, that ‘this issue once again
indicates Armenians’ skills to exaggerate. I mean Armenia portrays
rather modest army exercises as large-scale maneuvers’. In all
probability, this time ‘the known military expert’ has sexed up a
little, as conducting of any military exercises is never mentioned
in the Armenian press or by Armenian Defence Ministry, since it is a
regular event of the NKR Defence Army. When commenting on ‘surprises’
prepared by Karabakhi servicemen for their Azerbaijani counterparts,
Jafarov said that ‘mining areas on the front line they try to gain
time that Azerbaijan will need to clear territories mined by the
opposite side’ – a hard process.
