The Minister of Defence of Azerbaijan Safar Abiev has lately come
up with another ridiculous announcement. Interpreting the Armenian
President’s visit to the frontier region and to Nagorno Kharabakh
Republic, the Minister of Defence of Azerbaijan S. Abiev has announced
that Serzh Sargsyan has no right to visit the NKR and that it is
possible for that visit to be the last one. Asked to comment on the
statement, the Defense Minister of Armenia, Seyran Ohanyan, said:
"We understand Abiev’s strivings to see the desired as a reality. I
advise him to interpret his country’s president’s visits. As for the
Armenian President’s visit to Nagorno Karabakh, he may visit there
any time. That’s the way it was, and that’s how it will be.
Concerning the latest manoeuvres of the NKR Defence Army, Abiev has
said that they "know everything and that the enemy cannot become
active." At the same time he has added, that the Azerbaijani armed
forces are capable of freeing the so called "occupied land."
"It is not the first time that the Azerbaijani military and political
leaders come up with such unserious announcements. The manoeuvres
held in the NKR have always been painfully accepted by them. Today the
Defence Army is efficient and is well experienced. It has the modern
armament and is ready to resist any assault. As for the announcements
regarding the high fighting trim of the Azerbaijani army, I would not
like to interpret them. I can only say that the efficiency of an army
is not measured by idle announcements. I am sure that the Azerbaijani
Minister of Defency is well aware of this," Seyran Ohanyan said.
