Armenia attempts to provoke Azerbaijan on response actions: Azerbaijani deputy

According to Milli Medjlis deputy from Shusha region, member of the parliamentary committee on issues of defense and security Elman Mamedov, "by its military trainings at the front line in Agdam Armenia attempts to provoke Azerbaijan on holding military actions in order to accuse us of aggression and unwillingness to settle the conflict peacefully before the whole world community".

Notably, despite the recent intensification in the negotiation process on Nagorno Karabakh, the Armenian armed forces have been holding large scale trainings in the occupied territory of Agdam for already three days.

The deputy considers that Yerevan does not pay serious importance to the peace talks. "Armenians today are provoking us to respond the same way for it to grow into confrontation. This is an elaborated provocation but I think Azerbaijan will not yield to it", announced the parliamentarian.

Military expert Uzeir Jafarov has a different point of view of the issue.

"Armenia has not the least intention to do it considering its present position. It is quite satisfied with holding 20% of our lands. They just continue such trainings in order to maintain the readiness of their positions near the front line. If we consider the news archives of the past years, we can see that Armenia usually holds such trainings in these regions in March-April", considers Jafarov.

He said Armenians have already taken all valuable things in these lands and now these lands are used as polygons.
