Manvel Yeghiazaryan: Armenian people should prepare for war![]() April 10, 2010 - 15:13 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Manvel Yeghiazaryan, the commander of Arabo detachment, stated that spreading panic around the Karabakh issue is a wrong deed. “Karabakh can’t be ceded to Azerbaijan. We stand ready to battle its independence,” he told reporters in Yerevan. “We don’t want war but should prepare for it. We will set off war against those who tell us to cede the liberated territories before the NKR status is determined.” Commander Yeghiazaryan labeled Azerbaijan’s threats to unleash a new war as a mere diplomatic show. As to Armenian-Turkish rapprochement process, he said any attempt to reconcile is senseless unless Turkey acknowledges the Armenian Genocide. “Those who insist that present-day Turkey is not the same as the Ottoman Empire, which committed the Genocide are mistaken. After perpetrating the Armenian Genocide, Turks occupied Cyprus, now they continue massacring Kurds. Turkey is a murderer country,” Yeghiazaryan said.
