Armenia`s premier continues his campaign aimed at humiliating and  destroying Armenian army - opposition MP

ArmInfo. While Armenia's premier continues his campaign aimed at humiliating and destroying the Armenian army, laying the blame for territorial losses and  concessions by Armenia and Artsakh on the Armenian servicemen,  Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev is stating he has doubled the  Special Task Force of the Azerbaijani army over the last two years,  Tigran Abrahamyan, a member of the opposition parliamentary faction  With Honor, has stated. 

At the same time, he stated that the increase in the number of  special forces in the Azerbaijani army was mainly recorded due to the  newly formed military units "commandos", although according to  information, the number of army corps, special forces of the army,  navy, national security, border troops also increased, and the number  of special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Abrahamyan drew attention to the fact that the Azerbaijani president  does not hide the real goal of increasing the number of offensive  forces, stating that the Armenian government has a year to reach an  agreement through negotiations, otherwise Azerbaijan will solve its  territorial ambitions militarily.

In this vein, the deputy recalled that the Azerbaijani special  forces, consisting of strike units of different power systems, played  a primary role in sabotage battles on the border lines of Artsakh and  Armenia in 2014-2016, as well as during the days of hostilities in  2016 and 2020.

"Before the April 2016 war, the main assault brigade of Azerbaijan  was Yashma, a special-purpose brigade 052, disabled as a result of  heavy losses in battles with the Armenian armed forces in 2014-16,  and reorganized immediately after the hostilities of 2016, but before  still not recovered," the politician stated.

At the same time, he wondered if there was a chance to bring the  Armenian army to its senses and set combat missions for it, after  numerous moral and physical campaigns by the Armenian government.

"This is the main question that is asked most often. My answer is:  yes, there is. The main obstacle on this path is undoubtedly the  Nikolov government, under which the army and its foundations suffered  enormous damage. And although time is very short, we have the  opportunity to recover and get back on your feet in the conditions of  the elimination of this government," Abrahamyan said.
