ArmInfo. "There has always been a threat of war resumption",- said
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan during a press-conference in the
resort town of Dilijan.

According to him, there was a threat of war resumption in 1995, 2000
and 2005, and it remains today. "There will be a threat of war until
peace and stability are established in our region",- he said. Sargsyan
added that such threats become objective for Armenian people when
Azeris display militarist behavior without any grounds. "I see no
advantages among Azeris as compared with us",- said Sargsyan.

The president expressed confidence that both opposition and
authorities have people, who will find themselves in the front line in
case of resumption of the military actions. At the same time, the
president said: "I see no threat of war resumption in the near
future". He added that the defense minister should always expect
military actions to start even tomorrow. "Therefore the defense
ministry and the whole ministry staff are working day and night. Our
army is battle-worthy, and in case of war we cannot be taken aback",-
he said.
