/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `With its strengthening economy and army, Azerbaijan
fortified its image of a stable partner for the West, trying to
persuade Armenia in the necessity of compromise,’ Azerbaijan President
Personal Representative for Nagorno Karabakh issues, Deputy Minister
of Foreign Affairs Araz Azimov stated.
`Official Baku doesn’t seek war. It’s great having a strong army , but
it’s even better not to have to use it. We never said we’ll start a
war with the Armenians, nor do we say it now. Yet Armenia insists on
independence for NKR, and we’ll stop at nothing to recover our
territorial integrity. ‘
`Russia keeps arming Armenia. The machinery written off the military
base in Gyumri, is transferred to Yerevan. No one knows what happens
to old armament when the new one is imported,’ Reuters cited Azimov as
saying.
