The wide-scale armed clashes between the armed forces of Azerbaijan
and self-declared "Nagorno Karabakh Republic" are currently unreal,
said Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Oganyan.
"First of all, we do everything possible to settle this problem in
the framework of the peaceful negotiation process on Nagorno Karabakh
issue and second, the correlation of troops on the contact front line
between "Nagorno Karabakh" and Azerbaijani armed forces (owing to
the high trained army of the so called "Nagorno Karabakh Republic)
makes renewal of hostilities unreal", Armenian Defense Minister said.
He noted that Azerbaijani armed forces are preparing for the
continuation of the armed conflict, yet "the military-political
situation and all processes, ongoing around Azerbaijan and Armenia
and in the region, prove that everyone wishes only peaceful resolution
of the conflict".
Armenian Defense Minister noted that the armed forces of the so called
"Nagorno Karabakh Republic", as well as Armenia "have always been
ready for commencement of hostilities, especially because Armenia is
a guarantor of Nagorno Karabakh’s security".
