Azeri FM: military solution of Karabakh conflict delusion

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said he stands against military resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The peaceful process should go on, use of force is a big mistake, he said.



Analitika.az remarks that "it would be interesting to know the reaction of Defense Minister Safar Abiyev who announced official Baku's readiness to use force to liberate the territories seized by Armenians and rated probability of war as nearly 100%. Perhaps, the Azeri sides, as represented by two Ministers, demonstrates the whole scope of possibilities, each doing his job - diplomatic and military, the edition says.



Here is another remarkable extract from Mammadyarov speech: "Our negotiators raise public awareness among Armenians and explain the essence of their national interests. To all appearance, Armenians haven't made up their mind yet or our diplomats' work is not sufficient."



Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has numerously stated "determination to resolve the Karabakh conflict by the use of force and liberate the territories."
