Armenia can make provocations to check Azerbaijani army's capability,
NGO head says
By Elchin Mehdiyev - Trend:
The recent situation on the contact line between Azerbaijani and
Armenian troops proves once again that the Armenian government did not
abandon its provocative policy, head of "Youth Development Support"
"Dushunce" public association Emil Huseynli told Trend on August 2.
"Such provocations on the frontline occur throughout the year, but
this time it is a large-scale provocation," he said.
"Apparently, Serzh Sargsyan's government is trying to direct public
attention to the frontline to insure against a revolution that may
start as a result of socio-economic crisis," he added. "On the other
hand, Azerbaijan's increasing military and political power annoys
Armenia."
"These provocations may be committed to check the Azerbaijani army's
capability," he added.
Huseynli said that Armenia suffered more losses than Azerbaijan in
local battles.
"The Armenian Defense Ministry does not mention the exact number of
victims and does not inform the public in details," he said. "This
means that the loss of Armenia is many more than that of Azerbaijan."
"The recent events have shown once again the power of the Azerbaijani
army," he added. "The Armenian government has realized that Azerbaijan
may liberate the occupied territories at any time."
Armenian armed forces launched a diversion on the night of July
31-August 1, when reconnaissance and sabotage groups tried to cross
the contact line of the Azerbaijani and Armenian troops through the
territories of Aghdam and Terter regions.
Armenia's reconnaissance and sabotage group attacked the positions of
Azerbaijani armed forces in the direction of Azerbaijan's Aghdam and
Agdere regions on the night of August 1-2.
According to the Azerbaijani defense ministry, the effort was revealed
and prevented in time, by Azerbaijani armed forces.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result
of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent
of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven
surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently
holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
