“As to what the meeting of the presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russian will produce, the future will show. I do not know whether this meeting had mitigated the behavior of Azerbaijan on the border or not, in any case, it is that definite that Serzh Sargsyan went to that meeting with pretty strong positions, because it was provide by Armenian soldiers. The government did not earn it by their actions, but the Armenian soldiers had provided it by their lives,” such opinion was expressed by Vice-Chairman of “Heritage” party, Armen Martirosyan, regarding the Sochi meeting.
Azerbaijani APA agency reports that Turkish citizens have appealed to the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry wishing to fight against Armenians. To our question of whether this is dangerous for us, and if the war is resumed, whether we are going to be alone, or in your opinion whether our Russian brothers would come to help us, he replied, “We will not rely a hope on our Russian brothers, because on the one hand, it is a brother to us, on the other hand, it is selling weapons of mass destruction to Azerbaijan. There is another problem here. In this event, it is the NATO task, because Turkey is a NATO member state. It depends on what their attitude will be. And then, they came from Afghanistan to war, Chechens came to war led by Shamil Basayev, no result was reached. Basayev himself announced that they have nothing to do there anymore, because Azerbaijanis are not fighters. Now, the Turks will come and be convinced. Let them come, what’s the difference: an Azerbaijani or a Turk? Defender of the motherland is the Armenian soldier.” On his Twitter page, Aliyev is posting threats, Azerbaijan’s defense minister threatens that they should wipe Armenia off the map, Serzh Sargsyan says here that we have ballistic missiles, with which we can turn their flourishing settlements to ruins.
We asked where these arrogances and mutual intimidations are leading them, and whether Serzh Sargsyan’s this kind of statement was correct under this tense situation, Armen Martirosyan replied, “Such expressions were suitable neither by Azerbaijan, nor by the President of Armenia. Generally, when saying you’re doing, you do rather than speaking or something else. You specifically do not need to explain. Aliyev may try doing it, but our soldiers will prove that Armenia has brave soldiers, proud people, who when needed, is able to fight and be mobilized. No matter these threats are out there or not, all of it depends on the wish of the people, whether it is ready to suffer but to win, or not. Our people have proven that it is ready for it.”
