Advisor to the Chief of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces Vladimir Pogosyan made statements of a threatening character towards Turkey and Israel via social media networks, Trend reports.

Speaking about the terrorist attacks in Europe, Pogosyan said that he was not interested in these attacks.

“Finally, Armenian politicians began to understand what are Europe and Israel, especially Israel,” he said.

"Today's Israel and Germany of 1933 are the same. We won’t forgive anyone, and the time will come when we’ll take revenge on you, know this," he added.

Armenian Armed Forces launched a large-scale military attack on positions of the Azerbaijani army on the front line, using large-caliber weapons, mortars, and artillery on Sept. 27.

Azerbaijan responded with a counter-offensive along the entire front. As a result of retaliation, Azerbaijani troops liberated a number of territories previously occupied by Armenia, as well as take important, strategic heights under control.

The fighting continued into October 2020, in the early days of which Armenia has launched missile attacks on Azerbaijani cities of Ganja, Mingachevir, Khizi as well as Absheron district.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, the Armenian Armed Forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on the withdrawal of its armed forces from Nagorno Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
