  • BAKU: Mamedov on the Adoption of military doctrine by Armenia

    Today, Azerbaijan
    Dec 27 2007


    Alekper Mamedov: "Adoption of military doctrine by Armenia shows that
    it does not rule out initiation of hostilities by Azerbaijan for
    releasing its occupied lands"

    27 December 2007 [13:28] - Today.Az



    "Adoption of military doctrine in Armenia will not have a direct
    influence on the settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict. Also, it
    will not change the attitude of the world community towards Armenia.
    In fact, this concept is a legal foundation for neutralization of
    possible threats and any hostilities against Armenia, which will be
    able to substantiate all its actions, including provocative and
    aggressive ones, by the adopted military doctrine", Alekper Mamedov,
    head of the Center of Democratic and Civil Control of Armed Forces
    said, commenting on the adoption of a decree on military doctrine of
    Armenia on December 25, 2007.

    He said from the psychological point of view Armenia's adoption of
    the military doctrine might influence Azerbaijan negatively as we see
    that Armenia again outstrips Azerbaijan as to the adoption of
    critical decisions on the governmental level. He noted that
    Azerbaijan's lag on such issues is becoming an unpleasing tradition.

    "No doubt, adoption of military doctrine by Armenia shows that it
    does not rule out initiation of hostilities by Azerbaijan for
    releasing its occupied lands. Moreover, the military doctrine
    declares in open that in case of the threat of direct military
    attacks, Armenia will have a right to undertake measures for their
    neutralization and to appeal for support to its allies and partners.
    It means that existence of military doctrine will allow Armenia
    receiving military support of its allies, which in turn will point
    out that the support is provided to neutralize possible threats to
    Armenia, which is fixed in the military doctrine of the country",
    A.Mamedov said.

    He said in a response to the question about possible adoption of a
    military doctrine by Azerbaijan that despite the repeated
    declarations of representatives of Azerbaijan's community, military
    experts, political scientists, who state the necessity to adopt the
    military doctrine in Azerbaijan, it has not yet been adopted.
