Vladimir Timoshenko: "The fact that Armenia has a large amount of arms by no way guarantees its success in war"

According to him, only international inspectors can hold an investigation, referring to a contract on limitation of ordinary arms in the flanks, according to which there are restrictions for Armenia and Azerbaijan, which they have no right to violate.

"Moreover, Russia's decision to withdraw arms from Georgia to Armenia should not be surprising. To dislocate a part of them in Armenia is easier for Russia than to transport them back to Russia. This is natural and this was known before", said he.

He confirmed that there is a need for the international investigation of the delivery fact, which however can be investigated only by international structures.

Speaking about the importance to challenge Russia's role as an unbiased mediator in the Karabakh conflict resolution, considering the strengthened supply of arms by this country to one of the conflict parties, he said there are grounds for raising such issues.

"But I also stress that Russia is not interested in the resolution of this conflict. Official Moscow even avoids statements in support of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, preferring phrases like "Negotiation yourself and we will support this agreement".

Any issue can be raised theoretically... But no practical steps will be taken", noted Timoshenko.

He said the intensive armament of Armenia may break the balance, but it should be taken into account that not only technical factor plays a role here, among which he listed the preparation level of the personal staff, moral spirit, tactics and strategy of conduction of hostilities and so on.

"Many factors play a role here. Therefore, the fact that Armenia has a large amount of arms by no way guarantees its success in war".
