Baku perfectly realizes that number of planes and tanks doesn't predetermine outcome of warJune 22, 2007 - 19:44 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Baku's statements on resumption of hostilities in Nagorno Karabakh are nothing but pseudo-patriotism, RA NA Speaker Tigran Torosian told a news conference June 22. "The Azeri leadership doesn't really wish resumption of war. Baku perfectly realizes that number of planes and tanks doesn't predetermine outcome of war," he said. "When the war started they had advantage against Armenia and Karabakh. Azerbaijan targeted gigantic stores of ammunition and tank columns against Karabakh, everything in vain," the Speaker said. He bound the frequency of militaristic statements in Azerbaijan with the forthcoming electoral processes. Baku doesn't want settlement of the conflict, since it knows that Karabakh will never be a part of Azerbaijan, Torosian said. Besides, the Azeri authorities direct the flows of petrodollars to the military budget, at that explaining the poverty of the people by the unsettlement of the conflict, he said. When touching upon the prospects of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement Tigran Torosian said that giving up or at least considerable reduction of anti-Armenian propaganda may create a precondition for it, IA Regnum reports.
