(MENAFN- AzerNews)

Armenia's revenge-seeking opposition forces, made up mainly of
the Karabakh clan that are on the streets nowadays, are doing
everything possible to derail a possible peace deal with
Azerbaijan, thus pushing it into a potential third war.
Since mid-April, Yerevan's streets have been overwhelmed by
protesters, accusing Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of plotting to
'surrender Karabakh' after he called for the signing of a peace
treaty with Baku.
The blood-thirsty opposition is completely rejecting
Azerbaijan's attempts to normalize relations and sign a peace
treaty that would pave the way for a new chapter in the region.
Another act of Armenian provocation designed to undermine any
effort toward normalization of the ties was the recent discourse of
the ex-head of the Main Directorate of Training of the Armed Forces
of Armenia, Maj-Gen Valerik Kocharyan. He claimed that Azerbaijan
had suffered heavy losses during the second Karabakh war, and
therefore, there was no need to hurry for the signing of a peace
deal.
As no victory is possible without victims, Azerbaijan's losses
during the 44-day war were inevitable. However, Armenia's official
losses were several times more and the aggressor country cannot yet
explain to its own people why seas of blood were shed for the war
that was and will always be described as aggressive and go down in
history as the war of occupation.
“Why is Azerbaijan in a hurry to sign a peace deal now? They
know very well that when Armenians unite, they cannot fight with
us. Today we unite around the idea of defending our country and
people,' Kocharyan alleged.
It would seem that the 44-day war convinced the opponents of the
Pashinyan government about Azerbaijan's readiness to protect itself
and fight for its territorial integrity. However, if that was not
persuasive enough to those who want a third war, Azerbaijan is
ready for it.
By liberating Jabrayil, Fuzuli, Zangilan, Gubadli, and Shusha,
five settlements, about 300 villages, strategic heights, as well as
Aghdam, Kalbajar, and Lachin, demonstrating a high-level combat
readiness, the Azerbaijani army set an example during the patriotic
war.
The mere parallel of the liberated Azerbaijani territories
resurrected from the ruins and the ongoing demonstrations of the
Armenian opposition demanding revenge, which means new blood and
new suffering, convincingly proves that Azerbaijan is after
creation, and Armenia is for destruction.
The reality is simple – Azerbaijan is ready for another war but
what will the cost of it be for Armenia?
Video chronicles of the 44-day war are documentary evidence of
the poor training of the Armenian servicemen. Moreover, any losses
suffered by a country during the war must be assessed against the
real state of its economy, GDP, and strategic foreign exchange
reserves.
In all macroeconomic indicators, Azerbaijan by far outclasses
Armenia, whose economy, is on its last leg, having long lost its
independence.
Kocharyan is right about one thing: Azerbaijan is really in a
hurry to sign a peace deal that opens up the way for achieving a
full-fledged peace between the two Caucasus states.
The reason behind this is far different from what the Armenian
general implies, the country looks into the future, and wants to
work on peaceful construction and ensure further economic
development.
