Serjik threatens to make pre-emptive strike on Azerbaijan
Yerevan / 26.01.15 / Turan- ArmInfo: Azerbaijan will pay dearly for the life of the Armenian soldiers who died as a result of sabotage, said the President Serzh Sargsyan at the session of the Armenian Defense Ministry on Monday. He accused Azerbaijan of numerous provocations on the front line. "Baku is trying to show the world what can happen if their caprices are not fulfilled, and they do it without a thorough analysis of possible consequences, without hesitation," he said. "Every time in Armenia there is something negative and problematic, Azerbaijan thinks that it is its finest hour, but in vain."
"We have prepared many surprises for hotheads in Azerbaijan. Moreover, in the case of a larger cluster of Azerbaijani manpower and equipment at our borders and the line of contact, we reserve the right to preventive strikes. We will not wait until the trouble comes to our house. We will be relentless. We understand that the Azerbaijani authorities, in order to preserve their seats, want to send to death and hundreds of thousands of its citizens, but we will not allow this to happen at the expense of our soldiers and officers. We will not allow it," said Sargsyan.
In recent weeks on the front line there were numerous incidents and clashes, as a result of which dozens of militarists on both sides were killed and wounded.-02D-
