    AZERI PRESIDENT SAYS ARMENIA WILL LOSE IF KARABAKH WAR RESUMES

    Armenia will lose if hostilities resume with neighboring Azerbaijan
    over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, Azeri Presideint Illham
    Aliyev said.

    "I have no doubt that Armenia will flee the battlefield if the active
    phase of the war starts," Aliyev said in remarks broadcast on the
    state television channel AzTV today. "We have every opportunity to
    regain control of our territory."

    Armenians seized Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent districts from
    Azerbaijan in a war that killed some 30,000 people and displaced more
    than a million. Large-scale hostilities ended with a Russia-brokered
    cease-fire in 1994, though the sides have yet to sign a peace
    agreement.
