The Defense Minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Movses Hakobyan
welcomes the common understanding reached during the trilateral meeting
in Sochi. He assures that the soldiers at the Armenian-Azerbaijani
contact line are always ready for war and will never yield.
Last year the Azerbaijani side violated the cease-fire 3442 times,
which is 30% more than in 2008, NKR Defense Minister Movses Hakobyan
told a press conference today. The OSCE Minsk Group has been informed
about all the cases of violation.
Movses Hakobyan considers that Azerbaijan has no bases to realize its
bellicose statements. The Defense Army is not afraid of Azerbaijani
threats. "If the Azerbaijani Armed Forces were confident of their
victory, they would have restarted war long ago," he said.
The negotiations will become easier and more concrete, when Nagorno
Karabakh returns to the bargaining table, Movses Hakobyan added.
