Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

He answers very diplomatically , 1) Question is what he thinks about Tsarukians wishes of being the next President and topple the current regime :
Answer = My opinion is that every citizen has the right to claim political post ,presidential or another he is freely to do so ,have in mind that we have a good president that has participated in the war and is acting in modernisation and development of the army that has many issues ,he added that many people that have started as soldiers has promoted into higher rank also in generals , they have also now have acting position in political parties and matters !

2)Question : So you are saying that Tsarukian will not ot he is not capable to modernise and develop the army ? Also Aren't you also claiming the position of President ? Will u participate in the presidential elections of 2018 ?



Answer : I did not said that he will not be able to modernise the army but we have the current president that acts very well in that matter , Tsarukian is free to challenge and claim any political post he likes as every free citizen !
Why u are asking me if i will be the president in the 2018 , 2018 is very far away u know in 2 years many things can change currently im Minister of Defence and im seeking into solving military matters and numerous problems that army faces.

An interesting Asbarez article I found from November 26th, 1997 on the near giveaway of all of Artsakh by the LTP administration. This was less than 3 months before LTP was forced to resign, just as he was about to finalize this atrocious agreement. Hard to believe how close this came to being reality. That so much sacrifice just a few short years before was going to be washed away and victory handed to the turks on a silver platter.

Karabakh Settlement Near Says Arzoumanian
Wednesday, November 26th, 1997 | Posted by Admin

YEREVAN (Reuters)–Armenian Foreign Minister Alexander Arzoumanian said on Wednesday a preliminary peace accord to end 10 years of conflict and tension with Azerbaijan might be reached by the end of the year.

"We are hopeful. We hope we can have some kind of breakthrough before mid-December," Arzoumanian told Reuters.

Levon Ter-Petrosyan–bowing to international pressure–reversed years of policy earlier this year–saying his country would have to compromise and neither independence nor union with Armenia were realistic for Karabakh.

Both Armenia and Azerbaijan have now accepted a framework for resolving the conflict which would guarantee Azerbaijan’s retaining of Karabakh while giving the region autonomy and de-facto independence.

Arzoumanian acknowledged Nagorno-Karabakh’s opposition but said intensive consultations were under way between Yerevan and Karabakh to find a mutually acceptable formula.

"During the last 10 days we have held very intensive consultations with them. I think the Karabakh leaders have some legitimate concerns. They would like to have real security guarantees," said Arzoumanian.

"We should now look for a way to put these two principles together – the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and self determination (for Karabakh). We can achieve some kind of de facto independence for Nagorno-Karabakh and de jure Nagorno- Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan."

Azerbaijan has signed billions of dollars in lucrative Caspian Sea oil contracts with foreign firms and Arzoumanian said the Azeris were successfully converting the economic clout into political influence abroad.

"Azerbaijan has played this oil card very skillfully. They link the oil contracts with the resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh."

Arzoumanian said organizations like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank–upon which Armenia relies heavily to ensure fragile economic stability–were likely to turn up the heat if there was no Karabakh agreement.

"They can create some problems for us…They can vote against us or postpone loans for a couple of months.

For Armenia a one month delay can be catastrophic. Obviously this is what is going to happen," he said.
