AZERBAIJAN'S ARMED FORCES NEVER STRONGER THAN ARMENIA'S ARMY - DEFENSE MINISTRY SPOKESMAN
17:20 ~U 26.06.13
In response to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's statements that
strong Azerbaijan can use any language with weak Armenia, Artsrun
Hovhannisyan, Spokesman for Armenia's Ministry of Defense, quoted
Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan, who said that "the Azerbaijani
army cannot be strong at a parade in Baku and prove unable to dictate
the Armenian side on the front line."
"So if they are unable to dictate on the front line, they are not
really strong in Baku," Hovhannisyan said.
At a military parade in Baku on June 26, President of Azerbaijan
Ilham Aliyev stated that "the war is not over yet, but its first
stage is over."
"We can hear such statements every year. This does not change the
situation. Azerbaijan's armed forces have never had - nor will they
have - any advantage over Armenia's armed forces - either now or in
the future. These high-sounding words have nothing in common with
reality," Hovhannisyan said.
Tevan Poghosyan, former executive director of the International Center
for Human Development and Heritage parliamentary group member, told
Tert.am that the Azerbaijani leader is using a "macho language."
"There is no 'speaking any language' in politics. What does Aliyev
mean by 'any language'? Is it Azerbaijani, Armenian, Russian, English
or the word stock he is using? He is most probably showing off his
resources in the region," Poghosyan said.
The Azerbaijani leader also stated that that Azerbaijan prefers a
political way of resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh problem.
"However, Azerbaijani is getting stronger day by day, while Armenia
is getting weaker," he said.
