Expert: Azerbaijan will need 8-10 years to reach Armenian armed forces level

PanARMENIAN.Net - There is a risk of unexpected start of a new war in Nagorno Karabakh, according to head of Regional Studies Center.

“However, resumption of hostilities seems illogical, as Baku knows that it will lose,” Richard Giragosian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. “Azerbaijan will need 8-10 years to reach the level of Armenian armed forces, despite ongoing purchase of armament, which will produce no result in clumsy hands. A country may possess modern military equipment and be defeated because of poor training of the army,” he said.
