Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry reacted to Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan’s war threats.
Spokesman for the ministry Eldar Sabiroglu told APA that it was not the first time Ohanyan made such statements.
“It is not reasonless, because the international community exerts influence on Armenia to solve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict within the framework of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity. The leadership of Armenian army makes this kind of statements to mislead the people and hide the people’s distrust in the army. Azerbaijan has a very strong army and is ready to prevent any kind of aggression,” he said.
Sabiroglu said there are two ways of solving the conflict and did not rule out war, in case the occupied territories are not taken back peacefully.
“There are two ways of solution, peace or war. Azerbaijan does not want bloodshed. We support peaceful settlement of the problem. But if it is impossible, Azerbaijan is capable of liberating its lands. This aggression can not last for ever,” he said.
Eldar Sabiroglu spoke about the poverty in the aggressive country, tyranny and deaths in Armenian army.
“The country lives in poverty. Show me a country where the economy is in slump and the army is strong. There is no such a practice in the world. The miserable situation in Armenia also affected the army of the country. It is impossible to lead a country and have a strong army with the support of Diaspora. Seyran Ohanyan would rather try to eliminate disgusting events, bribery, distrust among soldiers and officers in Armenian army. The country’s leadership has difficulties to find the way out this situation. Soldiers are not provided with food. Parents send food products to their children every week. As far as we know several Armenian soldiers died of hunger. The number of the crimes increases in Armenian army year after year. 148 Armenian servicemen died within six months of this year. The country’s leadership is seriously concerned over the problems. It is natural that such a weak army makes so much noise. In stead of making groundless statements Seyran Ohanyan would rather eliminate the ignominies in the army,” he said.
