ArmInfo.Neither Azerbaijan nor Turkey have come to terms with the results of the Tavush operation, and will wait for an opportunity for revenge, Tigran Abrahamyan, military expert, former adviser to the Artsakh president expressed such an opinion.
He stated that after the clashes on the Armenian-Azerbaijani state border in the Tavush direction, there are intensive mutual visits of the military leaders of Azerbaijan and Turkey, and at different levels.
"It is obvious that neither Azerbaijan nor Turkey have come to terms with the results of the Tavush operation, and will wait for an opportunity for revenge. At least they will try. The statements of the Armenia's Defense Ministry and Chief of General Staff of the Armed Forces testify that the Armenian military department is fully aware of the seriousness of the situation and is trying to take steps in accordance with it.
After the events in Tavush, the Prime Minister of Armenia at a government meeting gave an assessment of what happened and its consequences. The diagnosis was made correctly, but this must be followed by action, " Abrahamyan wrote on his Facebook page.
According to the expert, the matter is not that the Turkish-Azerbaijani strike will follow in 10 days, 1 month or 1 year. He pointed to the obviousness that the operation in Tavush is not fully completed, and Armenia's eastern-western neighbors, at least outwardly, demonstrate active political and military movements, which at this stage are manifested in the form of joint exercises. "We need to act quickly," summed up Abrahamyan.
