Head of the press service of the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan,
Lieutenant-Colonel Eldar Sabiroglu made a statement in connection
with the presence of bellicose statements by the Armenian side over
the recent period.
"The well-grounded opinions voiced by the President, the Supreme
Commander-in-Chief of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev on April 23 at a meeting
at the Ministry of Defence, Defence Minister Safar Abiyev’s report on
the readiness of the army and other statements caused wide resonance
not only in the region, but throughout the world," he believes .
According to Sabiroglu, it was a very important meeting, and the
international experts also back this opinion.
"The result will undoubtedly be present. If Azerbaijan starts
operations to liberate its territories, Armenia’s defeat is
inevitable. It will be possible due to providing army with modern
weapons and heavy military equipment, the presence of high morale,
the main thing – the unity of the President and the people," said
the head of press service of the Defence Ministry.
"A question may arise. Why does the problem delay? The work done,
Azerbaijan’s efforts for the resolution of the conflict give ground
to say that there is no need to seek a secret reason in it. The only
factor is that our country hoped the activity of the Minsk Group and
other international institutions towards the peaceful solution to the
conflict would produce results. Azerbaijan did not want bloodshed in
the region again," said Sabiroglu.
According to him, this was the essence of President’s speech at
the meeting. "But as seen, Armenia and some known forces impede the
realization of our peaceful policy. Is there any other way under the
present circumstances? Of course, not," Sabiroglu believes.
He said that meeting showed weighty arguments about crafty and ugly
Armenian disease. "The Supreme Commander-in-Chief said the Azerbaijani
lands were kept for long years under the occupation not based on any
norm of international law and our cultural, religious and historic
monuments were destroyed in all occupied lands, our mosques were
ruined and historic exhibits were stolen from our museums by the
Armenian vandals. The President said we couldn’t endure such cruelty
and injustice. We have to do so that we can liberate our lands by
the military way any time," said the spokesperson of the ministry.
"If we look at the history of the war, we can see one truth. There are
occasional cases in the history that the country at war fired on the
holy places of other country and looted everything on its way. One of
these few enormity cases is the Armenian vandalism and we faced with
it in the end of 20th and in the beginning of 21st century. Armenian
Defense Ministry’s statement showed that Armenians were really in
fear. Therefore they try hedge themselves with their stupid and lying
ideas because their domestic situation also is bad," said Sabiroglu.
"I would like to finish quoting the chief of Armenian general staff
Yuriy Khachaturov’s statement issued by News Armenia several days ago.
He said: "If there is constant number of draftees in 2004-2009, we
will face with problems in 2010-2016 because the number of draftees
will be reduced". I think there is no need in additional comment,"
Sabiroglu said.
