YEREVAN. – The reaction in Azerbaijan ever since the Iskander missile system’s display in Armenia attests to many things, military analyst Arkadi Grigoryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“It is apparent that they [i.e. the Azerbaijanis] are attempting to prove to themselves and to others that Armenia does not possess this system,” noted the analyst. “[And] all reliable and unreliable sources are used [by Azerbaijan] for this.

“The permanent publications on this topic, and the searches for any references about the Iskanders, bespeak the major concern within Azerbaijani government structures. 

“And on the other hand, the tone of these publications attests [to the fact] that they [i.e. the Azerbaijani authorities] are attempting to reassure the [Azerbaijani] public that their fears are unfounded.”
