BTC passes very close Ijevan and Noyemberian, within range of Grads on the frontline. It also passes through the Javakh region currently in Georgia which is growing very restive.

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

can missles be precisely aimed?, and how do they know where's the pipeline is exactly?
would it be probably easier to just send a couple of guys with bombs to sabotage it?

Grads can essentially carpet bomb a very large area. And yes, there are other missles that can be precisely aimed. If the war starts up again (which would most likely be from an Azeri attack) the Armenians will probably launch a counter-attack on Tovuz and perhaps even Yevlakh. The pipeline will be obliterated.

Taking out the BTC pipeline (which shouldn't be a major problem) will hurt Turkey more than Azerbaijan.....Turkey is sure to respond in some form.

Read this article about the possibility of the purchase of the C300 system by Levon Melik Shanazaryan, http://translate.google.com/translat...u&tl=en&swap=1

Given that armed with Armenia has long been a C-300, the modernization and rearmament of the Russian base includes more sophisticated and advanced weapons.

The document signed (between Russia-Armenia) is very significant and other experts also noted that it is likely Armenia will receive very modern and sophisticated weaponry (also the defense ministry informed on planning to develop new missiles).

Armenians are not going to raid air strikes, for the destruction of the living forces of the enemy we have other, far more effective means. Including the same ones that Azerbaijan for several years trying in vain to buy.

Also, I am highly interested what is being pointed again in this article. For a couple of times, the Armenian president himself said Armenia has weapons countries ten times larger dream of (not speaking about the C-300 system or Scuds). What is this weapon?

Yea, i also wonder what that weapon can be.

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

I remember reading somewhere that Armenia was developing laser based weapons in the 90 together with America and Russia. After a while the world signed a treaty to stop the development as far as I remember. But I can't imagine a country stopping devolving weapons because of a peace of paper.

Or it could be something very different from the weapons we know, we only know what the governments wants us to know nothing more, nothing less.

Armenia's response should be as Oskanian said once "result of war".

The argument will always be against the side who starts the war.
They should not be able to ask for compensation or any other sh.t.

And Turkey can't do much. Attack Armenia is out of option, 93 showed that. What are they going to do close the border with Armenia? They have already done everything they could without starting a war.
