During a discussion at John Hopkins University of Washington US
foreign policy and military expert Wain Mary characterized as
`unrealistic’ the constant Azerbaijani threats of `blitzkrieg.’
`Nagorno Karabakh is a natural castle, which has been further
reinforced due to Armenian military units, and even the American army
will have difficulties in attacking it, declared Mary, adding that
this is the opinion prevailing in the US military-political elite.
`In regard to alertness, Armenian military units greatly surmount the
rival. It’s not a secret that Armenians have an army, while
Azerbaijan has only `armed forces.’
According to Mary, in case of resumption of war Azerbaijan will
connect hopes with military recourses, while the Armenian side will
set hopes upon the predominance of armaments and alertness. `To come
out victor Armenia only needs to defend Karabakh, while for defeating
Azerbaijan it is necessary to invade whole Karabakh, which is
impossible,’ the American expert is confident.
Considering all this, one an conclude that according to Wain Mary,
Azerbaijan will not succeed in resolving the question in a military
way.
