Expert: Azerbaijan’s military treaty with Israel affects ArmeniaMarch 2, 2012 - 15:16 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia should be on the alert; Azerbaijan signed a military treaty with Israel, and this affects Armenia both directly and indirectly, political scientist Sergey Shakaryants said. “No matter what this weapon targets, Iran or the national minorities in Azerbaijan. We have no guarantees that this weapon will not aim Armenia tomorrow,” he told a press conference in Yerevan. “We are missing one important thing. If Azerbaijan aims to use arms against Iran, our national interests will suffer anyway; furthermore, our state borders will be jeopardized,” the expert noted. Shakaryants voiced concern over lack of reaction by Armenian politicians to the active arming of their key enemy, who still hope for a peace settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Armenian side must enhance its weaponry to demonstrate to the rival that “we are not powerless and can repulse them”, the expert said.
