"I am convinced that but for Russia's support to Armenia, Azerbaijan could liberate the seized territories," Azeri military expert Uzeir Jafarov said in an interview with Day.az. "As for the fact that Armenia can buy Russian weapons at a lower price, one should remember that Armenia is a member state of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and this allows buying arms at a reduced price," he said. When touching upon the defeat of Azeris is 1990-ies the expert said, "Now Armenians are idealizing the events of that time and forget that they also met defeat at some periods. Now, despite certain shortcoming of the Azeri army there are forces that can fulfill the task quickly. It's not a secret that during the Karabakh war Russia was actively supporting Armenia. But time has passed and a big deal of work has been carried out," Jafarov said.
