Armenia’s Military potential in South Caucasus is traditionally rated
high, political scientist at the Eastern Studies Institute of Russian
Academy of Sciences Alexander Skakov told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
According to him in this context parity has developed between the
armies of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
`It is known that Armenia’s military budget is much less than
Azerbaijan’s. It is important to understand that today’s situation is
different from the 90’s. The Armenian side should not rely on the
experience of previous years too much, the balance has changed,’ the
expert mentioned.
According to Skakov due to that parity Baku understands that the
scenario of the Karabakh blitzkrieg is yet unrealizable. But he also
mentioned that if Baku were to be sure that they would be able to take
over Nagorno-Karabakh in 2 weeks then this version of developments
would be quite possible. However, the expert pointed out that
currently the above mentioned scenario is not real.
`But what will happen after 5, 10 years?’ the expert concluded the
interview with a question.
