“We keep any military scenario in our view. The escalations in the frontline indicate that Azerbaijan is not ready for the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,” said the Chairman of RA NA Standing Commission on Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs, Koryun Nahapetyan, in an interview with Aravot.am, commenting on the concerns of expert circles that Azerbaijan’s large-scale military drills and the border tension perhaps are the signals of upcoming attacks by the enemy.
“These drills will naturally give rise to concerns that large-scale operations may occur. In all cases, we are ready to take appropriate actions,” said Koryun Nahapetyan. We asked to express an opinion on Aliyev’s recent statement saying that “Shushi is ours.” “Such rhetoric is a proof of the fact that the Azerbaijani military and political leadership is doing everything to create an unfavorable situation to start a negotiation process for the peaceful settlement,” noted Koryun Nahapetyan.
