Armenian Defense Ministry: "War between Azerbaijan and "Nagorno Karabakh Republic" is currently unreal"

16 May 2008 [13:49] - TODAY.AZ
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".
