Azerbaijani MP: Seyran Ohanyan’s statement points to Armenia’s concerns

"Such statements by the Armenian Defense Minister are linked with the ongoing processes in the region. That is, against the backdrop of recent political developments between Turkey and Armenia, Armenia is trying to dislodge even greater concessions", Oruj said.

"In this way, Armenians, on one hand, want to strengthen Armenia position of in the process of normalizing relations with Turkey, and on the other, make it clear to the international community that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should be resolved taking into account interests of Armenia, otherwise the negotiation process may deadlock and initiate military action,” he added.

"As to Seyran Ohanyan’s statement about well-prepared and strong Armenian army, it is a lie. Army forces must be evaluated in all parameters, given the emotional state of soldiers, resources, military equipment,” the MP said.

"The Azerbaijani army is by all measures stronger than the Armenian army. This is proved by state of mind of soldiers, weapons, air defense and other technical parameters, as well as number of soldiers and their military capabilities,” he said.

“Ohanian makes such statements hoping that within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Russia will defend Armenia. Azerbaijan has no intention attack on Armenia. Ohanyan statement threatening Azerbaijan points only to concerns of Armenia on this issue,” Oruj said.
