    No peace deal till Armenia pulls back from occupied lands - Azeri minister

    Space TV, Baku
    31 Aug 04

    [Presenter] Azerbaijan may sign a peace agreement after Armenian
    troops withdraw from Nagornyy Karabakh, [Azerbaijani Defence Minister]
    Safar Abiyev has told a ceremony to celebrate Turkey's army day.

    [Correspondent over video of Abiyev speaking at a rostrum] Azerbaijani
    Defence Minister Abiyev has said that he supports the statement of the
    Azerbaijani leadership about signing a peace deal with Armenia only if
    that country pulls its troops out of Nagornyy Karabakh. Abiyev said
    that Azerbaijan's armed forces support this policy of the country's
    leadership and they are ready to execute all the orders of the supreme
    commander to drive Armenian troops out of the occupied lands.

    He said that Armenia's uncompromising position blocks the resolution
    of the Karabakh conflict. The policy that the occupying Armenian
    leadership is pursuing is a source of threat not just to the South
    Caucasus, but to Europe and the world at large. Nevertheless,
    the Azerbaijani people will not leave an inch of their land under
    Armenian occupation, Abiyev stressed. The defence minister thanked the
    leadership of Turkey for its support of Azerbaijan in the settlement
    of the [Karabakh] conflict. He particularly noted the contribution
    of Turkish specialists to the training of Azerbaijani soldiers.
