Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry It’s possible to say that Armenia has
zero chance to win, spokesman for Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Defense,
Colonel-General Eldar Sabiroglu.

"Everyone knows which country backs Armenia in the Organization of
Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), said spokesman for
Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Defense, Colonel-General Eldar Sabiroglu,
commenting on statements by Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan that in
the case "war starts, the CSTO will help Armenia".

According to him, Seyran Ohanian attempted to reply to the statement
of Azerbaijani Defense Minister Safar Abiyev about the war. In fact,
he only showed what kind of a state Armenia is.

"Ohanyan said in case of war, the Collective Security Treaty
Organization will help Armenia, and this organization is obliged to
help. A very important moment is that everyone knows who backs Armenia
in this organization. Everybody in the world knows this", said E.

Sabiroglu.

According to the spokesman, Seyran Ohanian is well aware that it is
extremely difficult to cope with the Azerbaijani army alone.

"Seyran Ohanyan understands the logic of threat to Azerbaijan better
than anyone else. He himself does not believe in the absurd expressions
which he uses. Accordingly, the Minister of the outpost country is
seeking protection from the outside. Their position remains unchanged
as usual", said E. Sabiroglu.

According to him, the current state of the Armenian army reduces its
chances to wage war and conquer:

"It’s possible to say that Armenia has zero chance to win. As I noted
at a recent press conference, we have got definite facts. Today,
Armenia is unable to complement themilitary units. The country has
gradually exhausted its human resources and death rate is growing.

This information is provided by Department of Demography of the
Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Armenia. Armenia stands
face to face with such a catastrophe.

Compared with last year the number of admissions to secondary schools
has decreased by more than 19000. At the same time I would like to
mention that Armenian people have changed their attitude towards
the army dramatically. They cannot rely on the army. And as a result
of violations of these relationships and hatred, Armenia used force
against its own people on March 1. The due statement was made by former
Defense Minister of Armenia Vagharshak Arutyunyan while speaking to
Armenia Today several days agp.

These are not my words, these are the words of the former Minister of
Defense. It is not time to threaten to Azerbaijan. S. Ohanyan said
if war breaks out again, they will be able to achieve anything like
they did previously. This is absurd. Azerbaijani army is now powerful
enough. The fighting ability of our soldiers and the provision of
modern weapons and ammunition is all we have. If negotiations fail,
the war would be inevitable. Azerbaijan will liberate its land from
occupation. This scares Ohanyan. Therefore, he makes such statements".
