Armenia should not expect its interest concur with those of great powers for them to curb Azerbaijan’s aggression, commander 
of the Sisakan detachment, reserved Colonel Ashot Minasyan told Tert.am.
Mr Minasyan, some claim that the Armenian-Azerbaijani-Russian presidential meeting in Sochi did not produce any results, and the current peace is only temporary. What is your opinion?
Yes, the Sochi meeting did not change anything. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stuck to their opinions. I fully agree that the present peace is temporary. Therefore, we should not sit and wait for Azerbaijan’s decision to kill more of our boys. Nor should we wait for our interests to concur with those of great powers for them to curb Azerbaijan’s aggression. Peace and security are not guaranteed. Rather, they must be achieved.
What can be done to establish peace and security?
Azerbaijan is implementing a bellicose anti-Armenian policy, and Azerbaijan’s president publicly states that the first stage of the war is over (thereby preparing Azerbaijan’s population for war). He is destabilizing the situation on the border by provoking military operations. He is even laying claims to Armenia’s capital, Yerevan. After all this, when, pursuing its own interests, the international community pats Azerbaijan on the back. We ourselves must restore the Kura-Aras boundary, which is the natural borderline of the Armenian plateau.
During the Artsakh war, the Armenian forces succeeded in making the second Armenian republic start bordering on Iran. And the regions liberated thanks to the blood of our brave guys are the only guarantee of our security. However, we must not be contented, with Azerbaijan’s threats – both in word and as military operations – have reached the highest point. It is time to reach the Kura-Aras boundary. We must ensure both the states’ security, using the potential of the Armenian plateau.
