58 21.09.11 - Military parade of the RA Armed Forces dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Armenian independence Armenian expert says Sep 21 parade sends serious message to Baku September 20, 2011 - 20:15 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The military parade dedicated to the 20th anniversary of Armenia’s independence is a serious message to both Azerbaijan and the international community, according to a political analyst. As Sergei Minasyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the heavy armament to be exhibited during the parade will demonstrate the might of the Armenian army. “Besides, Armenia-made missile drones will be exhibited. We’re aware of Baku hopes for a remote war; however, our defense equipment is capable of shattering those hopes. The Sep 21 parade will prove the restored parity in the region; Azerbaijan may abandon its hopes for a renewed war as impossible, at least in near future,” the expert said.
