Armenian military exercises in Nagorno Karabakh - a cheap show

“If you count, you will see that such exercises have been held more than ten times from the beginning of the year till now.

It does not aim to increasing of combat readiness. Their exercises remind childish sports. And there cannot be another assessment”, Chief of press service of Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry Eldar Sabiroglu said in his respond to APA’s question on Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan’s participation in exercises in Nagorno Karabakh.

Sabiroglu noted that holding of such exercises is so difficult that it must be planned beforehand and attentively: “And it needs much time. It needs several important factors, especially great sum of money. As you know, today, Armenia and its military forces gathered in the territories of Azerbaijan do not have such opportunities. Just imagine the state of military power of a country with ruined economy. These tricks dont work no more.  It is impossible to increase combat readiness in this manner”.

Sabiroglu wanted to draw attention to another substantial moment: “When Azerbaijan announces something true on ruined and unorganized situation of Armenia, or something about decisive attitude in the direction of solution to the conflict, it begins to demonstrate 5-6 tanks and 1-2 combat vehicles in Nagorno Karabakh and calls it large-scale military exercise. These are delusive methods. Such tricks do not create public opinion. Unfortunately, Armenians do not get tired of such deceptive acts. Maybe it is some kind of illness or hopelessness. But they must be absolutely sure that it is impossible to change something or impact on something with such cheap shows”.
