Regional peace maintained by NKR Defense Army, Minister says

It is not statements that begin war, Minister of Defense of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Movses Hakobyan told a press conference, commenting on official Baku’s bellicose statements. He pointed out that such statements are mostly made for domestic political purposes.
“We should hear the statement, draw right conclusions and take measures to find out whether they are trustworthy or misleading. Our state and army have the relevant agencies,” Hakobyan said. He stressed that the main task is for “the statements to remain mere statements.”
The NKR Defense Minister pointed out that the Azeri leader Elchibey would say he would “wash his feet” in Lake Sevan, but his statement was followed by the fall of the city of Agdam.
“If Azerbaijan is ready for war, it will start war without asking anyone,” Hakobyan said. He pointed out that war can begin even this moment for his as Minister of Defense. That is the reason for a large number of servicemen on duty on the frontline.
As to why snipers have not been withdrawn from the frontline, Hakobyan said that Azerbaijan refused to sign a relevant agreement with the NKR Defense Army.
The NKR Defense Minister expressed the confidence that peace in the South Caucasus can only be maintained due to the NKR Defense Army. “This is our greatest achievement, and, by enhancing our army’s efficiency, we must constantly force our enemy to talk to us, instead of warring against us,” Hakobyan said.
