The Force Commander of Karabakh separatists, General Levon Mnatsakanyan made a loud statement in an interview with The Washington Post that he intends to attack and capture new territories of Azerbaijan. "The experience of the four-day war shows that the existing arsenal of combat training and will help to stop the enemy. If the war resumes, we will reflect not only the enemy, but we ourselves will move forward,» he said, adding that Karabakh can be protected without Russian aid.

Commenting on the statement of Mnatsakanyan, head of the Defense Ministry press-service of Azerbaijan Vagif Dargyahly told Turan agency that the Armenian artillery for second day is bombing the frontline settlements of Azerbaijan. "If this is not war, then what is war? We are responsible only to the suppression of enemy firing points. Armenians claim that the shooting at military targets, but this is an absolute lie, they are focused fire on residential areas," said Dargyahly.

"As  for  the threats to start on the offensive and seize new territories, then  why did not the Armenians do it on April 2-5? If they have such powers and abilities, who prevented them? They could not even win the lost positions, how  are they now going to move?

Such strong statements are designed to rise considerably battered spirit of Armenian soldiers in the Armenian society that is shocked by the fact that "the most powerful army in the Caucasus" was defeated and failed to restore the lost," said Dargyahly. 02В-
