The more Baku violates ceasefire, the greater number of Azeri soldiers dies in “accidents”

The Azerbaijani media reported that two soldiers of the Azerbaijani army died in accidents. One of them allegedly died from lightning strike, while the other one - in a car accident.

The Armenian side’s forecasts came true. For example, Armenian military psychologist David Jamalyan said on May 2: “Do not be surprised if Azerbaijani media outlets disseminate information shortly that an accident took place in a military unit, in which soldiers were killed.”

It is pretty reasonable. Baku could not expect that it will get away with permanent and diligent firing of NKR positions, in which people are killed. The NKR Defense Army warned that Azerbaijan will be given an adequate response for the ongoing violations of ceasefire and provocative acts, and it will live in fear.

But even in case of a great number of losses, the Azerbaijani leadership will be have to invent new “lightning strikes” and “car accidents” not to break the “martial spirit” of the Azerbaijani army and to keep under control the Azerbaijani people, which has been “nourished” with hatred towards Armenians and palmed off with promises to take Karabakh from Armenians for many years.

The military and patriotic education in Azerbaijan is based on invented “weakness and non-efficiency” of the NKR army. Thus, the Azerbaijani leadership cannot admit that this army gives an adequate response for killing of Armenian servicemen and civilians. And the more Baku violates ceasefire, the more frequently it will have to invent “accidents,” in which Azerbaijani soldiers are killed.
