Threats voiced by Azerbaijani President and other high ranking officials on military solution to Karabakh conflict break no squares as one intending to launch war never warns about it, RA Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan told NEWS.am.
“I consider that Azerbaijan is unlikely to resume hostility and our information also proves it. Presently, Azerbaijan is not ready for war, however we, servicemen, should always on alert,” he underlined. Ohanyan stated that officials of presidential rank should first think of avoiding military showdown in conflict solution and try to settle the issue peacefully in accordance with the norms of international law, as RA President does. “However, if suddenly Azerbaijan breaks out war, Armenian side is ready to give accurate response and even more if needed,” emphasized RA Defense Minister.
As to whether CSTO will assist to its member — Armenia if the war unleashes, Ohanyan said, “If hostility begins, CSTO is obliged to help us under the agreement signed between the member states.”
