ArmInfo. The territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is not related anyhow to Nagorno Karabakh Republic, stated Shavarsh Kocharyan, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia said at the press conference on November 23, commenting Armenia's President statement that Armenia accepts the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
At the same time, answering the question about guarantees that combat actions will not be resimed, Kocharyan stated that the main guarantee is to rely only on own resources.
Referring to the circulating information about the misbalance of military power in the region, Deputy Minister mentioned that the balance is not only the armament kinds and soldiers quantity. "There are other factors existing, particularly the positions, and the martial spirit. Of course, we cannot ignore the factor of modern armaments. Recently Azerbaijan bought a big quantity of ultra modern armaments, and that impacted the balance. That was also a reason for us to buy Smerch and Iskander, andwe expect the deliveries of Solncepek," Kocharyan added.
Talking about Azerbaijan's intention to buy weapons from Pakistan, Deputy Minister said that Baku may hold negotiations with any country, but that may lead to the new stage of the armament race.
"There are two solutions for this situation: First is to rehabilitate the negotiations process and to find some solution. The second is that Azerbaijan may make an attempt of military solution. I think that the probability of the second scenario decreases within the time,' Kocharyan stated adding that this is preconditioned not only by the critics of international society but also with reduction of oil supplies revenues .
