AZERBAIJANI ARMY NEEDS WINTER DRILLS – EXPERT

The Azerbaijani army’s military drills on the borderline are aimed at
producing a psychological impact on Armenia, according to a military
expert.

At a news conference on Thursday, Artsrun Hovhannisyan said the current
exercises on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border might be advantageous
to the country in this period of winter.

“Conducting exercises in cold weather is necessary for Azerbaijan
because the experience of a winter battle turned out harsh for the
country,” he said.

The expert did not rule out the possibility of a political context
behind the drills but did not consider them preparatory trainings
ahead of a plotted war with Armenia.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
