Mehti Mehtiyev: "Azerbaijani army will have to sacrifice about 10,000 military men for the successful return of the occupied lands"

According to him, undoubtedly, considering the received information about military aid to Armenia by Russia, it turns out that our country has initially been posed to the unequal conditions with the aggressor, who occupied the Azerbaijani lands.

"On the other hand, Azerbaijan, in case the resolution about the forced way of the return of the occupied lands of our country, does not intend to pass Armenian border, but it will hold hostilities to restore its own borders within the limits, recognized by the world community, which allows Azerbaijan to view the country openly supporting Armenia during the hostilities on the liberation of the occupied lands of our country as an aggressor".

Now the combat readiness of the Azerbaijani army is on a high level and it is much higher than the combat readiness of the Armenian army, said he.

"It is not my personal opinion, it is view of a number of military experts, who have a chance to compare the state of affairs in the armed forces of Azerbaijan and Armenia. Certainly Azerbaijan army will not be able to liberate the occupied lands within 48 hours and reach the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, but our army is able to fulfill the tasks in the shortest period of time.

According to him, to gain success in the military actions, the offending party should have a three fold advantage over the enemy.

"It means that against a battalion of the Armenian army, we need to have three battalions of the Azerbaijani army. Certainly, there will be victims. I think Azerbaijani army will have to sacrifice about 10,000 military men for successful liberation of the occupied lands", concluded the military expert.
