The chief of Armenia’s military intelligence makes false statements
meant only for public, Azerbaijani Defense Ministry Spokesperson
Eldar Sabiroglu said commenting on a statement by chief of Armenia’s
military intelligence, Maj.-Gen. Arskah Karapetyan.

Armenian media recently reported that Arshak Karapetyan urged not
to frighten Armenia with larger military budgets as spirit, will,
strength and skill, which is inherent in the Armenian army, wins in
the battlefield.

"Situation in the Armenia army is deplorable. Due to critical economic
situation in the country, the military budget has been cut. The
Armenian army is not provided with all necessary items. They have
no money to maintain soldiers. They are not even fed in time. What
kind of spirit and combat effectiveness can exist there under such
circumstances?" Sabiroglu said.

"So, all these false statements are meant only for public both in the
country and abroad. They will never criticize themselves and that’s
why they make such a statement," he said.
