Artsakh war hero warns of possible Azeri provocations ahead of April 24March 24, 2015 - 17:56 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Major-General Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan (Comandos) warned of large-scale provocations, commenting on the latest border incidents, Tert.am reports. “With Armenia marking the Genocide centennial this year, Turkey’s working in three directions: culture, propaganda and diplomacy, as Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said,” he noted. According to him, Turkey has left “the military component” to Azerbaijan, the fact being the reason for growing tensions this year. “No war will break out, but we should expect large-scale provocations in all the sectors. And civilians will be targeted as well,” Ter-Tadevosyan said. He believes that Turkey will stop its provocations by late April. “Azerbaijan cannot succeed,” he noted. Asked about possible losses should large-scale hostilities break out, Tadevosyan said: “Given the arsenal at both the sides’ disposal, both are expected to suffer serious human losses. Geographically, however, 100 missiles launched in Artsakh’s direction will be less effective than ten missiles launched in the direction of Azerbaijan.” Top stories The Cabinet of Ministers decided on Thursday, November 9 to allocated AMD 120 million to arrange the gathering.
