Apparently, Azerbaijan is preparing for another military provocation.

According to Azerbaijani media, during an official meeting at the Central Command Post, country's defense minister Zakir Hasanov “instructed the commander and chief staff to be ready at any moment to use the newly adopted modern weapons, equipment, and other combat means.”

“The Defense Minister instructed the units to conduct intensive training and practical exercises in accordance with the real combat conditions in order to further improve the combat capability, as well as to be always ready to accurately and timely perform combat tasks,” the Azerbaijani media noted quoting the statement by the country’s defense ministry.

A few days ago, the Azerbaijani armed forces had invaded an area of the responsibility of the Russian peacekeepers in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).
