March 05, 2011 | 00:06
Azerbaijan will not be able to be structured into a large force or be
equipped to a sufficient degree to overcome the advantages of
territory enjoyed by the defense forces of Nagorno-Karabakh and the
Armenian army even with its will to improve its military capability,
the former U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan Anne Derse said, `Nouvelles
d` Arménie’ writes.
According to the cable of July 2, 2009, published on Wikileaks and
`Russian reporter,’ Azerbaijan is presenting a `much rosy scenario for
Nagorno-Karabakh, than logically expected.’
Anne Derse served as U.S. ambassador to Azerbaijan from 2006 to 2009.
Currently she is the U.S. Ambassador to Lithuania.
In a cable in January 2009, Anne Derse also noted that `the
president’s rhetoric has exceeded significantly the results of
military construction in Azerbaijan.
