Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan has set conditions for ceasefire in the troubled Nagorny-Karabakh region, saying that Armenia must withdraw from "occupied territories."
Meanwhile, Armenia has said it would recognize the region's independence if the situation on the ground worsens.
"In accordance with UN Security Council resolutions, Armenia must free all occupied territories, and provide complete territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Azerbaijan, recognized on international level," head of Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's press-service Khikmet Gadzhiev said on Monday, as quoted by RIA Novosti.
In relation to the current situation on the confrontation line in Nagorny-Karabakh, Baku's Foreign Minister Elmar Mamediarov had addressed a number of international organizations, Gadzhiev said. Letters to UN and NATO chiefs have been sent, as well as to EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, informing them of "constant shelling of populated areas by Armenian army and deaths of civilians," he added.
According to the Foreign Ministry spokesman, Baku's standpoint is "peaceful," as it's Armenia who continues shelling Azerbaijani positions and residential areas amid the earlier announced unilateral cessation of hostilities by Azerbaijan.
On Monday, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry released a statement claiming that an intensive shelling has been launched from the Armenian side. "In the morning fighting, three Azerbaijani servicemen were killed. The Ministry also said that the Armenian side has suffered big losses, but the exact numbers have not been given," head of Sputnik agency in Azerbaijan, Aziz Aliev told RT.....
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.
Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

Azerbaijani official to ‘Post’: Israel must comment on Nagorno-Karabakh
Israel wants to remain completely out of the Azerbaijan- Armenia dispute over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh territory that flared anew over the weekend, even though a senior Azerbaijani official told The Jerusalem Post on Monday his country wants Israel to raise its voice on the matter.
“What we expect from Israel, which we respect a great deal, is to relate to what is happening here because Israel can request Armenia to stop the fire and enter negotiations,” Ali Hasanov, senior adviser to Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev, said in a telephone interview from Baku, the capital.
“We view Israel as a strategic partner, and expect it to comment,” he said. “Azerbaijan asks its strategic partner – the State of Israel – to express its attitude toward the latest developments related to the military provocation committed by Armenia in the border of the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.”
Aliyev, who was in Washington last week attending the Nuclear Security Conference, met there with a delegation of US Jewish leaders from AIPAC, the National Coalition Supporting Eurasian Jewry and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, and discussed Azerbaijan’s ties with both the US and with Israel."
