Turkey incites Azerbaijan to war in Karabakh

May 26, 2007 - 17:02 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - «The Nagorno Karabakh conflict cannot be settled peacefully. Everyone should know that lands which were seized with bloodshed cannot be returned bloodlessly,» said lieutenant general Yasak Demikbilek, former chief of Turkish intelligence agency.



Noting that he was engaged in the formation of the Azeri army, Demirbilek said Azerbaijan should think over all details if it decides to settle the issue under mediation of international organizations.



«These lands were not lost as result of defeat of the Azeri people or power of the Armenian army but as result of treason. That is why Azerbaijan should take the regions back by force. Neither OSCE mercy nor UN resolutions will resolve the problem. If Azerbaijan decides to use force it will succeed in saving its territories. The international community will change opinion about Azerbaijan after the military operations,» he said, APA reports.



Azeri descent Demirbilek was born in a settlement near Yerevan. After serving in the Turkish army he engaged in formation of the Azeri army and was a military advisor to Azerbaijan's first President Abulfaz Elchibey.
