ArmInfo. Armenian Defense Ministry responded to desire of Azerbaijani Defense Minister ZakirovHasanov walk to Yerevan. Thus, Press Secretary of the Ministry  of Defense of Armenia Artsrun Hovhannisyan told ArmInfo's  correspondent, referring to Hasanov's statements, in particular:  "Armenian Defense Minister David Tonoyan is ready to receive Zakir  Hasanov in Yerevan in the best traditions of Caucasian hospitality". 

As ArmInfo wrote earlier, in Azerbaijan, for a week now, the words of  Armenian Defense Minister David Tonoyan, spoken at a meeting with the  Armenian community in New York, have been trying to digest the  implementation of the formula "new war for new territories", but so  far in vain.After two statements were made by the Foreign Ministry of  Azerbaijan and the defense ministry, for greater reliability now the  Minister of Defense Zakir Hasanov himself delivered a speech in which  he promised to go all the way to Yerevan.

So, Hasanov first decided to teach Tonoyan, assuring that, they say,  the military should not engage in verbal skirmish in public. Then,  forgetting what was said a minute earlier, he tried to justify the  statements of the Armenian Minister of Defense by the fact that he  was not a military man and had no idea about the state of the army he  headed. "You can say anything, but you should have opportunities to  keep your word," he said, and for greater conviction, he decided to  amuse his own pride, once again initiating conversations about the  military and economic power of Azerbaijan, while not failing to  blacken Armenia."President Ilham Aliyev rightly noted that the myth  about the strength of the Armenian army has been destroyed.  Because  of the unsettled Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the economy of Armenia is  falling apart. Today dissatisfaction is growing in Armenia, people  are taking to the streets. statements.

Note where he said it? In New York, in front of the Armenian  diaspora. He went there to beg for money, "Hasanov said.At the same  time, he began to assure that, they say, Armenia and its army for  offensive actions have neither economic nor sufficient military  capabilities. "Now it's not the 1990s. When I heard his statement, I  would say how great it would be if they really launched an offensive.  Then I would meet with Tonoyan in Yerevan. Empty conversations would  no longer deceive the Armenian people. At that time, they said that  Oganyan's line was impassable. And we passed it in 18 minutes. And if  they use all their capabilities, they will get 3-4 times more than in  April. I look forward to this moment, "concluded the brave General  Hasanov.
