Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan: Azeri Askars are preparing to be sacrificedSeptember 4, 2010 - 17:18 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Azeri propaganda machine has for a while been adhering to an unclever tradition of presenting own provocations on the line of contact of NKR and Azeri armed forces as “Armenia’s violation of ceasefire”, Voskanapat portal director, political expert Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan believes. As he noted, each one in 3 recent incidents of diversion ended in the deaths of young Azeri soldiers, whose bodies remained on the territory controlled by NKR defense army. “And every time the Azeri side maintains that Armenian soldiers attacked its main base. One is almost induced to believe that Azeri Askars are preparing to be sacrificed.” “The third failed attack signals Baku’s determination to continue with diversions until its dream of seizing an Armenian soldier comes true. Azerbaijan has clearly set itself the task of spreading false information through Armenian military hostages,” the Armenian expert believes.
