This guy is responsible for the storage of the military ammunition depots/arsenal.

If that's true then he has blood on his hands and should have his assets and accounts frozen and kicked out of the country.

Defense Minister of Armenia speaks about control and positional defense of lost territories


YEREVAN, MAY 23, ARMENPRESS. Defense Minister of Armenia Seyran Ohanyan says the Armenian side has created a positional defense towards the Azerbaijani captured territory during the four-day war by which the Defense Army staff keeps the control of the situation in terms of influence, initiative and strategic range. He ensured that as we do not forget our historical lands, we do not forget our lost territories during April military operations as well, “Armenpress” reports, Defense Minister said this during the briefing with journalists on May 23.

“A movement of troops happens both during the defensive and offensive military operations. The Defense Army staff carried out their tasks during the military operations. We have nothing to hide, there has been a movement of troops which is now under the control of the divisions which are located in that parts of the Defense Army. There territories are set out in the territory of the Nagorno Karabakh, and I think that the negotiations will be processed”, Defense Minister stated.

Azerbaijani president urges int’l community to react to nuclear threat from Armenia


Baku. Malahat Najafova – APA. The UN Security Council resolutions on Azerbaijan’s occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region have remained on paper for more than 20 years, said Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyeva addressing the World Humanitarian Summit underway in Istanbul May 23.

“In some cases the UN Security Council resolutions are implemented within days, if not hours,” the president said, noting that this case is actually a police of double standards against Azerbaijan.

Armenia must implement these resolutions, said Ilham Aliyev.

Another serious threat to the region, according to Azerbaijani president, is the outdated Armenian nuclear power plant in Metsamor.

“There are reports of Armenia exploiting the radioactive waste from this power plant. Armenian parliamentarians and other officials declared this April that Armenia has a nuclear weapon, so called the "dirty bomb", President Aliyev said. “The international community needs to react to it. Armenia's nuclear threat must be stopped.”

He went on to say that necessary work has been carried out to improve the living conditions of those who became refugees and IDPs as a result of the Armenian occupation.

“More than $6 billion were spent to improve the living conditions of our refugees and IDPs," he said. "The level of poverty among refugees and IDPS dropped from 75 to 12 percent, in general poverty level in Azerbaijan dropped from almost 50 percent to 5 percent in the last 12 years," he said.

President Aliyev noted that Azerbaijan provides and will continue to provide assistance to countries facing similar problems.

Guys, good posts about Armenia but you guys are derailing this thread.
There are so many other threads that addresses these issues.
You can also open a thread if you like.

This is a military thread about the balance of power and military discussions about us and the enemy while keeping it professional.

Analysis: U.S. seeks reassurances of non-acceptance of Kazan plan by Armenia, Azerbaijan
By Naira Hayrumyan - May 23, 2016

Last week was relatively quiet on the Nagorno Karabakh front as the military said there were fewer shots and less intensity of fire at the line of contact and along the restive Armenian-Azerbaijani border. At the same time, calls for peace talks after last month’s deadly fighting in Karabakh were made at the diplomatic front.

On May 20, the prime ministers of Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) member states (including Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan) met in Yerevan. Among the officials visiting the Armenian capital for the purpose was also Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. In a conversation with President Serzh Sargsyan before the gathering, Medvedev reportedly also spoke about the Karabakh conflict.

As president of Russia in 2011, Medvedev offered a settlement plan for Karabakh (later called the Kazan plan as the main meeting of the parties was held in the capital of the Russian republic of Tatarstan then), which is very similar to the Madrid principles proposed by the OSCE Minsk Group, with only one difference – the plan implied the introduction into the conflict zone of a Russian or a Russian-led peacekeeping force rather than an international contingent. Both the Kazan plan and the Madrid principles involve territorial concessions from the Armenian side and Azerbaijan’s agreement to an interim status for Karabakh with the possibility of a future referendum to determine the ultimate status of the disputed region.

It was immediately after the April war in Karabakh that the Russians began to speak about the reanimation of the Kazan plan that was once rejected by Azerbaijan. However, neither Armenia nor Azerbaijan has officially supported the initiative now. Moreover, experts note that even though the other two co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group – the United States and France – did not openly oppose the plan, in reality such a settlement scenario would not suit the West either.

It is unlikely to be a coincidence that on the day Medvedev was in Armenia, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden telephoned both the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders and reminded them about an agreement reached in Vienna, Austria, on May 16 under which Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev are to meet again in June to discuss a settlement plan. Experts described Biden’s calls as a U.S. warning to the sides not to make separate agreements with Russia and not to accept the Kazan plan.

Meanwhile, Azerbaijan has officially stated about guarantees of a peaceful settlement of the conflict. On Sunday, the head of the Azerbaijani president’s administration, Novruz Mammadov, said that his country was in favor of a peaceful settlement and was not against the expansion of the OSCE mandate and investigation of border incidents.

Before the Vienna meeting, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan had put forward three conditions for the resumption of negotiations on Karabakh – guarantees of non-resumption of hostilities in the conflict zone, installation of equipment in the conflict zone to monitor ceasefire violations and “addressed” statements of the international community pinpointing the side responsible for violations.

Azerbaijan has, in fact, now agreed with the first two conditions. Yerevan, meanwhile, intends to insist that the international community recognize Azerbaijan as the side responsible for the April escalation in Karabakh.

If any of the countries or the Co-Chairs issue a statement in which they will lay the blame for the escalation on Azerbaijan, Armenia will have no reasons to refuse to have a top-level meeting with Azerbaijan in June. But at that meeting, as experts say, Sargsyan will face an even greater test – discussion of a settlement plan that would involve some painful territorial concessions from the Armenian side. The Armenian society has expressed an almost unequivocal rejection of such concessions.

It is garbage. Armenia would have to make huge territorial concessions before any legal status for Karabakh is determined. Six territories which form about 50 percent of Artsakh's territory would have to be given back.
