Hope for Revenge Suicidal for Azerbaijan
Hope for military budget and revenge is a bad and suicidal hope. Azerbaijan has always been stronger than Karabakh in personnel and hardware, but you all know the results of the previous war imposed by Azerbaijan, Nagorno Karabakh President Arkady Ghukasian said in an interview with Azat Artsakh newspaper. In his words, the Azeri authorities should stop misleading their public and start natural direct contacts with Stepanakert. "We can really solve many problems if we sit down at the negotiating table", he said.

"Karabakh people do not hate Azeris, while the situation in Azerbaijan is quite the opposite. The Azerbaijani authorities are actively cultivating hatred towards Armenians. One proof: in Azerbaijan the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is presented as Armenian-Azeri conflict," he said.
