10 000 AZERI VOLUNTEERS READY TO JOIN REGULAR ARMY IN CASE OF WAR IN NAGORNO KARABAKH
Ten thousand volunteers, experienced veterans of the Karabakh war (1988-1994), since discharged and retired, are waiting for an order to join the regular army units in case of war in Nagorno Karabakh, the article titled "Black Spots on Azerbaijan's History: Khojalu Genocide" published in Baku Today online newspaper runs. The author notes that "over the years of aggression and occupation of Azerbaijani territories, Armenia became somewhat comfortable and even started to extend the "olive branch", hoping that Azerbaijan will forget and forgive the past". However, as time passes, growing anger can be noticed among Azerbaijanis in and outside the country, the newspaper writes. According to the author of the publication, Armenians do take notice of this change and launch their anti-propaganda.
