Threats voiced by Azerbaijani President and other high ranking
officials on military solution to Karabakh conflict break no squares as
one intending to launch war never warns about it, RA Defense Minister
Seyran Ohanyan told NEWS.am.
"I consider that Azerbaijan is unlikely to resume hostility and our
information also proves it. Presently, Azerbaijan is not ready for war,
however we, servicemen, should always on alert," he underlined.
Ohanyan stated that officials of presidential rank should first think
of avoiding military showdown in conflict solution and try to settle
the issue peacefully in accordance with the norms of international
law, as RA President does. "However, if suddenly Azerbaijan breaks
out war, Armenian side is ready to give accurate response and even
more if needed," emphasized RA Defense Minister.
As to whether CSTO will assist to its member - Armenia if the war
unleashes, Ohanyan said, "If hostility begins, CSTO is obliged to
help us under the agreement signed between the member states."
