"The preparedness of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces enables to liberate
our territories by force. We need only time to take this step,"
Azerbaijan’s Defense Minister, Colonel General Safar Abiyev told
journalists. Stating that not only Armenia but also super states take
interest in the Nagorno Garabagh conflict, the Defense Minister said
some states aim at wielding influence on Azerbaijan.

"These states are still on the same opinion. They will give up if they
see Azerbaijan is powerful. We’ll prove this," Mr.Abiyev underlined.

Commenting on his Armenian counterpart Serj Sarkisyan’s claims
that Azerbaijan does not intend to conduct war, Abiyev called these
statements groundless, "I do not care what he says. These statements
aim at calming down the Armenian community, remove fear among the
people. Armenians fear war."

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
