PanARMENIAN.Net - "The land is just about to escape from under Armenia's feed," Head of the Press Service of the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan Ramiz Melikov told 525 Baku newspaper. In his opinion, the correlation of the power at the international arena is changing in the favor of Azerbaijan. At the same time he noted that the potential of the talks is not used up yet. "If we feel there is not hope, we will begin a war," R. Melikov promised. Having accused the Armenian party in breaking the truce, the Press Secretary stated, "on the whole the success of the Azeri diplomacy in the matter of solving the Karabakh conflict makes Armenians angry and tense." As a result they try to demonstrate power and thus influence the talks, R. Melikov noted, reminding the PACE resolution adopted in January. "I think its second cause is connected with approaching April, when Armenians will mark the 90-th anniversary of the genocide." They get a psychosis this time each year, "the Armenian disease," known from medicine and inherent only in Armenians, exacerbates. Armenians want to demonstrate their power to the Azeri people and state. However, it is senseless," the Press Secretary stated. Referring to some military experts, Ramiz Melikov added "the activation of Armenians at the Aghdam and Terter directions is due to the front line lying close to Stepanakert at these stretches." "They expect danger at those segments and thus fire upon the positions of the Azeri army, try to take control of the strategic heights," Melikov stated, adding "today all crucial heights at the Aghdam and Terter directions are unfortunately keeps by Armenians."
