BAKU: ARMENIA PUSHES AZERBAIJAN TO BUILD MILITARY MUSCLE
Interfax, Russia
June 27 2013
The aggressive policy of the Armenian authorities has created a
confrontation, which jeopardizes the security of the entire region,
the Azeri Foreign Ministry said.
"Azerbaijan is strengthening its military potential in order to
keep its people safe. Armenia creates tensions in the region with
its aggression and occupies Azeri lands, which is why Azerbaijan
has to mount its defensive capabilities," ministry spokesman Elman
Abdullayev told Interfax, responding to Armenian Defense Minister
Seyran Ohanian's statement on militarization of Azerbaijan.
The opinion of Ohanian that "Armenia is the guarantor of physical
safety of Karabakh" is groundless, he said. "Armenia is not the
guarantor of physical safety of Karabakh: it has occupied the Karabakh
region of Azerbaijan. How can one occupy somebody else's land, create
cruel ethnic cleansings and banish local residents while calling
oneself the guarantor of physical safety?" the diplomat wondered.
Azerbaijan simply has to strengthen one's defensive capacities under
these circumstances, he said. "The Azeri Armed Forces have been
developed into one of the strongest and best trained high-tech armies
of the region," the ministry spokesman said.
