General Staff of Armenia: We avoided irreversible consequences in Karabakh

38

The ceasefire in the zone of military confrontation in Nagorno-Karabakh was undertaken very timely and proceeding from special expediency. Colonel General Onik Gasparyan, Chief of the General Staff of the Armenian troops, stated this on Wednesday, November 11, in an interview with the “Haykakan Zhamanak” (“Armenian Time”) newspaper.

According to Gasparyan, the Prime Minister of Armenia signed on November 9 a trilateral statement between Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia, taking into account a detailed analysis of the current situation.



This decision was an absolute necessity, rejection of it could lead to irreversible consequences.

- stressed the head of the General Staff of Armenia

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, November 11, a rally was held in Yerevan, during which the representative of the opposition Dashnaktsutyun party Ishkhan Saghatelyan noted three important tasks in the matter of “saving Artsakh” now facing Armenia: the creation of the Committee for the Salvation of the Motherland, the demand for the resignation of Nikol Pashinyan's cabinet and rescue of "land sold by the government".

The police did not detain active participants in the mass event, although they issued a warning about the inadmissibility of such actions during the period of martial law. Representatives of 17 parties announced earlier about holding a rally in Freedom Square in the Armenian capital.

        Colonel-General Onik Gasparyan, Chief of the General Staff of the Armenian troops, in an interview with the “Haykakan Zhamanak” (“Armenian Time”) newspaper, what does he say?

        This decision was an absolute necessity, the rejection of it could lead to irreversible consequences.

        This is not Pashinyan and not the civilian leadership, but the chief of the General Staff is a military man who soberly evaluates the martial law.

      Well, the Armenians do not want reconciliation, and they are eager to fight especially who did not smell gunpowder. Apparently the lesson went wrong, they forgot how Turkey once “fondled” them, they still want to.
      If the “patriots” overthrow Nikola and withdraw from the agreement, this will untie the hands of Azerbaijan. Will it stop at Karabakh or will cut a corridor to Nakhichevan, and this may lead Armenia to the loss of statehood. Then any obligations of the Russian Federation to Armenia will become invalid due to the absence of a party to the agreement.
      Maybe they want to provoke a big war of the Russian Federation, if not with NATO, then at least with Turkey and under the guise of occupying Karabakh again, then these “patriots” should be urgently sent to a “doctor”, sorry there is no one.

        The Armenians are going to overthrow Pashinyan and kill Russian peacekeepers. so it is not Russia that will fight Turkey. And Russia together with Turkey will kill Armenians! Rodents in 2008 have already shed Russian blood in South Ossetia. Ukrainians have already gone through this when they staged the massacre of the Haidamaks, but the memory of the maiden ...

        I disagree. If Armenia withdraws from the ceasefire agreement, then the presence of Russian peacekeepers in Karabakh becomes illegitimate. And Armenia is losing Karabakh completely. And even without the help of Russia. One Azerbaijani army is able to solve this problem.
        Russia's obligations under the CSTO to Armenia do not depend on the situation in Karabakh or the change of government in Armenia. Obligations remain. So there will be no "cutting through the corridor". You don't even need to talk or discuss about this.
        Until now, no one has been able to provoke a war. Not in Syria, not in Libya, not in Karabakh. Even in Ukraine they could not. Russia is not stubbornly at war. But the "partners" still bear losses.

        Do you think that Turkey has a chance against Russia ?! What is this confidence based on? Just do not write to me about the second largest army in NATO, soldiers on the antediluvian Leopard-1 and M-60 are worth nothing today, and they will not fight much on frigates Oliver Perry and similar trash, especially since the Russian Federation is able to destroy any object on the territory of Turkey, and Turkey has no opportunity to shoot through the entire Russian Federation ... Azerbaijan ?! So there the lion's share of weapons from the Russian Federation and without the supply of ammunition and spare parts from the Russian Federation, it will quickly turn into rubbish ... And export samples of weapons are always inferior to the originals ..

The Russian Federation owes them nothing and does not owe anything, especially after their Russophobic antics and rudeness towards the Russian Federation and the Russian people, which Pashinyan and his ilk allowed themselves to.

          It is sheer stupidity - striking targets on Turkish territory inevitably leads to the start of a Russia-NATO war, how can you not understand this? And hostilities in regional conflicts between the two sides are quite possible and in such actions the Turks have a high chance of winning. Russian T-72s can burn and explode no worse than the T-72s of the Armenian Armed Forces.

Neither the United States nor Germany will scatter to die under Russian missiles, defending your countries. Well, they will sip, well, they will impose sanctions and they will just sit on the priest. What's the difference between Turks and Georgians ?! That there are more Turks than Georgians ?! But for the volumetric explosion warheads in service with the Russian Federation, this is not important. Having unleashed a war with the Russian Federation, Turkey in a day will be left without military bases and warehouses, which the Russian Federation will smash with missiles, and then the Turks will simply be driven into the Stone Age. Perhaps the West will not allow the Russian Federation to take Ankara, but it certainly will not stop the defeat of the Turkish army.

With the Greeks in Cyprus, it partly worked out only because of the US intervention on the side of Turkey, which is why Greece left NATO for several years ... You yourself believe in a handful of shepherds in Chechnya, eh ?! I've been there. Only from Ukraine in Chechnya, 50000 fought against the Russian Federation. The Mi-24 helicopters of the Russian Air Force at the Grozny airfield destroyed the military transport An-12, this is a healthy four-engine machine, if you do not know and it belonged to the Azerbaijan Air Force. Do you think he brought bananas to Chechnya? I'm not even talking about the fact that Turkey treated and trained all the militants who fought in the Caucasus against the Russian Federation, and the troops of the Turks were there too ... Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and all your vaunted NATO actively fought there against the Russian Federation. Where did the Chechen shepherds get the elephant sniper rifles of 14,5 mm caliber ?! Have you grown in the garden? Don't make anyone laugh here with your not clever statements !!!

                      In the 90s, I had the opportunity to communicate with the Turkish military - before Erdogan, Turkish-Israeli relations were almost allied, joint exercises were held. combat arms. Their officers are quite competent, the rank and file are decently trained and the discipline is normal. True, I saw their combat units, such as our "Golani", they said that not all of the Turkish army is at the same level.

                        I admit that the Turks have decent special forces, but ours will not yield to him, at least this time. Spetsnaz can carry out a number of successful private operations, but it is not able to win the war, and the Turkish army will not roll against the Russian army. Turkey could cope with the Romanians, or the Bulgarians, with the Greeks one-on-one is no longer a fact, and the Turks do not have no chance.

                          The fact that special forces units alone do not win wars is absolutely true. But that's not the point, if we look at the actions of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces in the current conflict, we will see that they were planned very professionally, and were planned by Azerbaijani officers trained by the Turks. And tactical actions on the battlefield were carried out correctly - this is also an indicator of the level of the Turkish army, according to the patterns of which the Azerbaijanis acted. So don't underestimate a potential adversary ...

                          Well, from what I've seen, the Azerbaijani army is good only against the background of the Armenian army. The Azerbaijanis perle without reconnaissance, in open areas, because of which they lost not only army assault groups, but also special forces. In general, against the background of the Russian special forces, their level is not high.

Well, the MTR is not the coolest special forces of the Russian Federation, and the training of individual special forces groups, even of one department, can be seriously different. I speak for my own. We, along the ridge of the mountain, did not openly pearls, but the Azerbaijanis were found by the Armenians and covered with artillery. Another detachment of lane on the road on armored vehicles without reconnaissance and lateral protection, naturally fell into an ambush and was destroyed. This is not the level of the unit in which I served, they are before us, as before the moon.

                          Military experts, who have more information than we, observing from the outside, note the high level of motivation of the Armenian fighters, multiple cases of dedication and heroism. They are not bad fighters, the command is bad and the political leadership of Armenia is below the floor. And as for the steepness of certain special forces units, what comparisons can there be - each is sharpened for its own specific tasks and is being prepared accordingly. Universal soldiers only exist in Hollywood movies. Even the pioneers from Zarnitsa did not walk on the ridge, so I have doubts that the special forces are on the video. Forward patrols and lateral security today are completely replaced by online broadcasting from drones. Well, at least in the army equipped with modern means, in the part where you served, there were definitely no such opportunities.

As for the Armenians, judging by the fact that I saw a bunch of healthy young men rampaging in Yerevan, but so not gone to the front, then there is no great motivation. The command is not just bad, it is not, and the training is very weak. Pashinyan beheaded the army with his Russophobic purges. Well, look at Anna News for yourself, I think you will be surprised. Well, the side protection drones did not replace, since 4 armored vehicles of the Azerbaijani special forces were destroyed.

                          Everything is possible in war, anyone who has ever been under enemy fire knows. Armenians are generally a courageous people, it is no coincidence that during the war against Nazism there were outstanding military leaders, competent officers and courageous fighters among the Armenians. Cortez and the Indians are not entirely correct comparison, there was a real gap in the level of development, there is only better provision and training of Azerbaijanis, they have much greater financial opportunities, and war is a very expensive occupation.

                          Armenia has one problem and its name is Pashinyan. If this misunderstanding did not suit Russophobic purges in the army and steals less, everything would be different. An army without smart officers, it's not even Indians, it's a herd of sheep. The successes of Azerbaijan, as I have already written, are successes against the background of the outright failure of Armenia. Spetsnaz, these are trained units, the elite of the army, and if it makes such gross mistakes, and more than once, it means that there is a lot of things wrong with training there. Walk along the ridge of the cliff, as the Azerbaijanis walked, well, these are tourists, not the army ... Armenia does not have sources of income for Azerbaijan, but there are other sources.
