Armenian soldiers must remain vigilant in these times. Russia is distracted in Syria and Ukraine and Azerbaijan might take advantage.

OR even worse : a total war can break out . Many predicted this and said things will go bad after Sotchi . They were not wrong .

This could be the worst scenario , or the best scenario if we go to the principe that a between Ar-Az war can't be evited .
The Armenian soldiers should definitly be ready for everything now.

Russia should be ready for anything by now. It has had lots of cash from selling gas and has been building up its forces in the region. I think it is ready for any scenario and will be making decisive moves soon.

Azeri attack on NKR or Armenia is not deterred or based on political conditions in Russia.....it is deterred due to Armenian Defense Forces.

Don't fall for Azeris claiming "without Russia we destroy Armenian Army".

well, they do have lots of ballistic missles and smerches, which can disables many of our bases, so i'd not underestimate them.

Japan Decides Against Turkish-Azerbaijan Tank Deal

Japan Decides Against Turkish-Azerbaijan Tank Deal

A couple of months ago this blog, noting discussions on military cooperation between Japan and Turkey, asked "Would Japan Sell Weapons To Azerbaijan?" Now the answer to that appears to be: no.

Reuters on Friday reported that a proposed deal for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to supply tank engines to Turkey has fallen through because of export restrictions:



The report said that the sticking point was that Japan demanded a say on whether its equipment would be reexported to other countries. While the report doesn't specify which country/ies were the issue, previous reports in Turkey have suggested that it was Azerbaijan. (The Altay is a newly developed tank and has yet to be exported anywhere.) It sounds like everyone involved wants to keep the matter quiet, so we may never hear whether or not Azerbaijan was the issue, but it seems a safe bet.

Curiously, after news initially broke that Japan could supply the engine, a couple of reports appeared in the Azerbaijani press, including one just last week, about Japan selling military equipment, namely tank carriers, to Armenia. "Though Tokyo has stated that it does not sell military vehicles to conflicting countries, it has not kept the promise," APA reported. Given that the reports that APA cites were from 2012, it seems likely that the timing of the report is related to this deal falling through.

Ya the issue was discussed here a few months ago: http://www.eurasianet.org/node/67873 No doubt it had to do with Azerbaijan. As far Azeri news, I don't know of a nation, maybe other than North Korea, that has a more laughable national media.
