BAKU’S NUMBERLESS WEAPONS: SHOOT THEM OR SELL THEM?

Azerbaijan’s active purchase of weapons aims to make Armenia realize
Baku’s determination to restore its “territorial integrity”, according
to the head of Military Journalists union, Colonel-Lieutenant Uzeyir
Jafarov.
In other words, Azerbaijan is attempting to intimidate Armenia with
weapons, failing to consider that armament without experienced army
is useless metal.
As Jafarov added, if Azerbaijan fails to start a new war, the armament
could be advantageously sold to other countries. So, in one case or
another, Azeri petrodollars will be put to use.
Probably, sniper training programs for Azerbaijani school kids serve
the same purpose of intimidating Armenia.
However, Azerbaijan fails to consider that incessant military
rhetoric may serve the counter purpose of enraging Armenia, instead
of intimidating it.
Azerbaijan needs to reconcile itself to a thought that Karabakh won’t
be thrown to the wolves. The best solution would be to start selling
away the weapon bought.
