    AZERI EXPERT SAYS THREAT OF WAR WITH ARMENIA REAL

    Yeni Musavat (in Azeri), Azerbaijan
    30 Jan 2014

    An Azerbaijani expert has described the threat of war with Armenia
    as real.

    In an interview with the Azerbaijani newspaper Yeni Musavat on 30
    January, expert Azad Isazada described the current situation on
    the frontline between the Azerbaijani and Armenian armed forces
    as critical.

    "Undoubtedly, the war may start at any moment and any ceasefire
    violation can led to resumption of military operations. However, I
    believe that the situation will be brought under control this time
    as well because neither Azerbaijan, nor Armenia are interested in
    resumption of war. The West is busy with developments in Ukraine and
    it is clear that in this situation Russia is the only power capable
    of staging provocations," he told the newspaper.

    According to the expert, Russia's influence in Ukraine and Syria is
    decreasing and this may be Moscow's warning for the West that it can
    start another conflict.

    Isazada urged supplying frontline districts with spare materials,
    providing the local population with extra military training and
    building reserve hospitals.

    Member of the parliamentary committee for security and defence issues,
    Aqil Abbas, told Yeni Musavat that a conflict in Nagornyy Karabakh
    should not be called a war. "A war is waged between two countries. If
    the territory of one country is occupied and a separatist regime
    is installed there, then a fight against terrorism must begin,"
    the MP said.

    Yeni Musavat pointed out that in terms of military hardware and
    manpower Azerbaijan has the upper hand. "As opposed to Azerbaijan,
    the Armenian army lacks drone fighters. What is more, in terms of
    the local production of weapons and hardware the Armenian military
    industry is underdeveloped," the report said.
