Mubariz Gurbanly: In Normal State Ruzinsky Would Be Fired

Quotes from the commander of the 102nd Russian military base in Armenia, Andrei Ruzinsky with the newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda are surprising and regrettable, the Deputy Executive Secretary of the ruling party, New Azerbaijan, Mubariz Gurbanly commented for Turan. In the account,  Ruzinsky that the Russian group of troops in Armenia will intervene, if Azerbaijan decides to use military means to restore its jurisdiction over Nagorno-Karabakh.

He drew attention to the fact that the commander of the military unit allows himself statements on the level of heads of State or the Foreign Ministry.

"This is an indicator of poor subordination in the political hierarchy of the Russian state. In a normal state system a soldier who has made ??such a declaration would be fired at once.

Russia is a mediator in the Karabakh conflict, as co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, and Russia in international organizations supports the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan," said Gurbanly.

However, Gurbanly suggested that the statement was aimed to bring down the anti-Russian sentiment in Armenia.

"But such statements of a military unit's commander cannot prevent Azerbaijan from restoring its territorial integrity," said Gurbanly. -06D-
