ArmInfo. For a week, Azerbaijan has been trying to digest the words of Armenian Defense Minister David Tonoyan at the meeting with the Armenian community in New York about the implementation of the formula "new war for new  territories", but so far in vain.

After two statements were made by the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan,  and another defense ministry, for greater reliability now the  Minister of Defense Zakir Hasanov made a "fiery speech" in which he  promised to reach Yerevan.

So, Hasanov first decided to teach Tonoyan how to work, assuring  that, they say, the military should not enter into a verbal skirmish  in public. Then, forgetting what was said a minute earlier, he tried  to justify the statements of the Armenian Minister of Defense by the  fact that he was not a military man and had no idea about the state  of the army he headed. "You can say anything, but you should have  opportunities to keep your word," he said, and for greater  conviction, he decided to amuse his own pride, once again initiating  conversations about the military and economic power of Azerbaijan,  while not failing to blacken Armenia.

"President Ilham Aliyev rightly noted that the myth about the  strength of the Armenian army has been destroyed. Because of the  unsettled Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the economy of Armenia is  falling apart.  Today dissatisfaction is growing in Armenia, people  are going out into the street. So, it is necessary to divert public  attention from existing problems, making such statements. Notice  where he said that? In New York, to Armenian Diaspora. He visited  there to beg for money, "Hasanov said.

At the same time, he began to assure that allegedly, Armenia and its  army for offensive actions have neither economic nor sufficient  military capabilities. "Now it's not the 1990s. When I heard his  statement, I would say how great it would be if they really launched  an offensive. Then I would meet with Tonoyan in Yerevan. Empty  conversations would no longer deceive the Armenian people. At that  time, they said that Ohanyan's line was impassable. And we passed it  in 18 minutes. And if they use all their capabilities, they will get  3-4 times more than in April. I look forward to this moment, "Hasanov  concluded
