"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."
