AZERBAIJANI POLITOLOGISTS THINK NON-SERIOUS STATEMENT BY DEFENSE
MINISTER OF THAT COUNTRY ON POSSIBILITY OF ANTI-TERRORIST OPERATION IN
KARABAKH
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 5. ARMINFO. Azerbaijani politologists think
non-serious the statement by Defense Minister of that country Safar
Abiyev made during his visit to Turkey on possibility of holding an
anti-terrorist operation in Karabakh.
According to the Zerkalo newspaper, Zadrusht Alizade said that such a
statement cannot be perceived either by the international community,
nor by Azerbaijan. Commenting on the fact that Abiyev meets not only
militaries, but also Turkish President Ahmed Necet Cezer, Alizade said
that the defense minister is most likely to be given a specific
political instruction he must inform the Turkish leadership of. “Safar
Abiyev is not the very person able to hold political negotiations,”
Alizade said. He said that issues of political situation and strategic
planning are within the competence of Prime Minister. He said that
Safar Abiyev and Turkish President will, undoubtedly, discuss the
Karabakh conflict, but it does not mean that the such a problem can be
solved at the given level, Alizade said.
In his turn, politologist Vafa Guluzade said that such a statement is
nothing, but a phantasia. He said that Azerbaijan is in a situation of
war with Armenia, and “Russian strategists took all the measures that
the current font line not be in favor of Azerbaijan.” Besides,
Guluzade said that engineering structures are built in Karabakh and in
the regions nearing it, so, to attack, Azerbaijan needs a very strong
army. “I think if Azerbaijan starts an anti-terrorist operation in
Karabakh, in response, Armenia will began bombing Baku and other towns
of the country,” Guluzade said.
He said that the statement on anti-terrorist operation in Karabakh is
just a fiction by Putin, Russia, misleading the Azerbaijani people. He
added that the given statement could be just torn out of the context.
