NKR Defense Army: We respect peace, but prepare for war with great responsibility
1/30/14
Spokesman for the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Defense Army, Senor Hasratyan, has said that the border situation remains tense following the Azeri subversive attack on the night of January 20.
Speaking to Panorama.am, Mr Hasratyan confirmed Turkish and Azeri media reports claiming that Azerbaijan has accumulated armament along the Line of Contact.
“We respect peace, but prepare for war with great responsibility,” Hasratyan said.
He noted that Azerbaijan continues to violate the ceasefire at various sections of the Line of Contact of Karabakh and Azeri troops, adding that the frontline units of NKR Defense Army confidently perform their military tasks and return fire only in case of extreme necessity.

Sorry this is a repost but first 10 minutes are very relevant here.Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.

Baku Insists Elderly Villager is Armenian ‘Saboteur’
The border village of Verin Karmiraghbyur, where the elderly Armenian man crossed over into Azerbaijan
BAKU (RFE/RL)—The Azerbaijani military has stood by its claims that a 77-year-old resident of an Armenian border village captured by its forces was part of an Armenian commando unit that tried to cross into Azerbaijan this week.
Azerbaijani news agencies quoted a Defense Ministry spokesman in Baku as insisting on Wednesday that the man, Mamikon Khojoyan, acted as a guide for Armenian troops planning to carry out a cross-border incursion.
The ministry claimed earlier that Khojoyan was wounded and detained on Tuesday after Azerbaijani forces repelled the “sabotage-reconnaissance group.” Other Azerbaijani news reports said, however, that the resident of Verin Karmiraghbyur, a village in northeastern Armenia, was in fact detained by Azerbaijani villagers and handed over to military authorities.
The Armenian Defense Ministry and the mayor of Verin Karmiraghbyur village, Kamo Chobanian, have laughed off official Baku’s claims. According to Chobanian, the elderly man suffers from mental disorders and strayed into Azerbaijani territory by accident.
Uzeir Jafarov, an Azerbaijani military analyst, also dismissed the official Azerbaijani version of Khojoyan’s capture. “That man has nothing to do with the sabotage group,” he told RFE/RL’s Azerbaijani service. “He is an old man who seems to have health problems. There is not a single sign that the Defense Ministry’s claims are true.”
“The Defense Ministry had better explain why Khojoyan was caught by ordinary [Azerbaijani] villagers,” said Jafarov. “What were the Azerbaijani soldiers stationed in that area doing?”
Khojoyan was paraded on Azerbaijani television on Thursday. He was shown sitting on what looked like a hospital bed, with his right arm in a cast, and talking to the ANS channel. “I broke my arm but am fine now,” he was quoted as saying. “My arm is now healing. They are taking good care of me.”General Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.”Comment

Third disabled veteran of Karabakh war commits self-immolation in Azerbaijan
Maarif Veliyev commited a self-immolation on January 28 in front of the Barda town's Executive Power, the Azerbaijani information agency Turan reports.
The head of the public association "Veterans of Karabakh", Etimad Assadov stated the Azerbaijani service of "Radio Liberty” that Veliev is a second group disabled of the Karabakh war.
Asadov said that Veliyev had repeatedly come to the Executive Power of Barda and had requested to give him at least a small site, but all in vain. As a result, he doused himself with gasoline and committed self-immolation.
Asadov said that nobody is allowed to visit Veiled in hospital, and local authorities want to hide the fact of self-immolation. Meanwhile, the hospital management denies the request of the journalists to pass the phone to Veliyev.
The duty officer at the district police in Barda, the head of the municipality of Alpout and the police inspector of the village did not have information about the self-immolation committed by any of the residents of Alpout in front of the district administration.
However the portal managed to have an interview with Veliyev and to find out the reasons of his actions. “I have only one kid, and he is a first group disabled. In addition I am not able to feed him. I feel pangs of conscience as I cannot provide for my only child neither medical treatment nor decent life. Every time I see my son, I pray to Allah to take my life," he said.
He said that he was wounded in the leg at Karabakh war; it was amputated. He needed medical treatment as well as his son; he had to borrow a large sum of money. "My brother gave me an apartment, and I had to sell it because of debts. What should a parent who is unable to feed the child and provide him treatment do? The give me neither apartment, nor land, I live in a rented apartment," said the disabled veteran.
Veliev appealed to the Ministry of Health asking for a help for treating his son: "Let them cut off my arm and give them to my son. I'll manage. Only let my child be healthy."
