Azerbaijan has warned that the threat of conflict with Armenia is
rising fast and that a 'great war' is inevitable if Armenian forces
fail to pull out of disputed Nagorny Karabakh.
Tensions over Karabakh have grown in recent months amid efforts by
Armenia and Turkey, a close ally of Azerbaijan, to establish diplomatic
ties and reopen their border after decades of hostility.
Azerbaijan Defence Minister Safar Abiyev said 'for 15 years diplomacy
has not achieved any concrete results and Azerbaijan cannot wait
another 15 years.'
AdvertisementMr Abiyev continued 'now it's the military's turn and
the threat is growing every day.'
Speaking to the French ambassador in Baku, Azerbaijan's defence
minister said 'If Armenia does not end its occupation of Azerbaijan's
territory, the beginning of a great war in the South Caucasus is
inevitable.'
