'Everybody in Armenia knows that Armenian soldiers shot at one another on April 29 and this panic is rising.
We have expressed our position on it. We have got nothing more to say. But the bloody incident in the military unit has made the situation in Armenia more complicated,' spokesman for Defense Ministry, Lieutenant-Colonel Eldar Sabiroglu said while answering question concerning the deployment of professional snipers of Armenian Armed Forces on the front line.

Eldar Sabiroglu considers that in order to divert attention from the internal processes, Armenian political and military leadership try to persuade people that the soldiers did not shoot at one another, Azerbaijani Army killed them.

'The experts, members of the parliament close to the government are more active. Some fools say that at least 10-15 Azerbaijani soldiers should be killed in order to take revenge for three Armenian soldiers. Even a foolish political analyst says that since they have little population, this revenge may balance the situation. You see what these fools are hoping for?' he said.

Lieutenant-Colonel underlined that any action and deployment on the line of contact is under the control of Azerbaijani Armed Forces.

'Azerbaijani Army is ready for any extreme situation and adequate reply in order to prevent any interference of the enemy,' he said.

they just dont want to admit it in front of the international community that they are blood thirsty barbarians.

If a new war breaks out between Artsakh and Azerbaijan, how long do you guys think will it likely last? Will it go on for years like the last one? Months? End within a week?

If there is no interference from regional powers I think it won't take too long.....regardless if Baku srarts a new war in Karabakh, it will cause irreversible changes not only in Azerbaijan but throughout the region. Also a stalemate will not be tolerated by Armenians again.

President Sarkisian has stated that "an attack on Artsakh is an attack on Armenia" as we know......no chance for things to remain the way they are now, even if Russia and Iran try to stop it.

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

it wont take years ... few weeks ... less then a month. It might be that there would be stalemate after a month and agreement would be signed but definitely not years. Stalemate can be avoided by having good military industrial complex to resupply troops with all necessary weaponry. This is something turks have upper hand in compared to Armenia.

There is not going to be a war with Turkey - there is nothing Turkey wants from Armenia or wants in Armenia. But if there were, it would be a Bush in Iraq-style "victory" for Turkey within a week, and then a long and costly war of attrition where even the best military industrial complex and weapons become useless.

But Armenia and Azerbaijan are much closer in terms of military capacity, and each is incapable of inflicting a conclusive defeat on the other.

Turkish soldier killed in clashes with PKK rebels

ANKARA, May 3 (Xinhua) -- A Turkish soldier was killed in clashes with the rebels of the outlawed Kurdish Workers' Party ( PKK) in southeastern Turkey on Tuesday, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.

Turkish security forces in the southeastern province of Hakkari encountered with a group of PKK militants near the town of Cukurca as they were trying to sneak in from northern Iraq, said the report, adding that a private was killed in the clash.

A large-scale security operation is under way in the region to capture the PKK rebels, said the report.

Listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union, the PKK took up arms in 1984 in order to create an ethnic homeland in southeastern Turkey.

Some 40,000 people have been killed in conflicts involving the PKK in the past two decades.

There are serious errors in your post, as usual. First of all, Turks goal is for Armenia to vanish so they can accomplish their pan-Turkish dream, this has been the case in the past and, as the policy of the racist government in Turkey has shown, is still the case today. Second of all, if there "were" a war, then this would mean a bigger war than only between Turkey and Armenia, as Russia would not allow this. And this also means that this "war" will not be an "Iraq"-style war, as you may wish in your dreams.

I still find it funny you think you are a Master in Armenian affairs and geopolitics, as a Scottish peasant.

It takes a peculiar sort of society (and person) to fantasize for the last 90 years about being butt-xxxxed by Turkey. For the first ten of those years it was possible. However, your ass is not attractive to the would-be rapist anymore. He has moved on, why don't you?

Isn't having one enemy, Azerbaijan, intent on Armenia's destruction, enough? Why do you need to decieve yourself that there is another one, and one that is 100 times more militarily powerful? It suggests to me a serious lack of concern about dealing with Azerbaijan.

edojan WAS referring to Azeris....we call the Turkic Azeris "Toorks". As far as Turkey, they may say they have no interest in Armenia (a cat cant reach the meat claims it stinks, you should know Bells) but deep down inside they are scared of the future, and this is why they WANT Armenia to officially recognize their illegal borders, forget about Genocide recognition, and give land back to Baboons so they can be one step ahead on their Turanic wet dream.

Armenian Wedge got them by the balls and if they ever invade Armenia they will face an insurgency war run by a professional military in a mountainous terrain (unlike Iraq). They can't even handle the PKK, how well you think they will do against revengeful Armenians with every legit excuse to kill the invading Turks? It will be a major failure and a political nightmare for them.

I really have to visit NK before it is lost. The place hasn't a chance in hell of surviving if those that fill this thread are in any way representative of those tasked with defending it.

Especially since you are now claiming that Azerbaijan (rather than Turkey) has a, to quote your own words, "good military industrial complex to resupply troops with all necessary weaponry".
