BAKU, APRIL 10, ARMENPRESS: A public opinion poll conducted by a
controversial Karabakh Liberation Organization (KLO) among residents
of Azerbaijani capital Baku has found that 51 percent of Azeris would
prefer to take up arms ‘to liberate’ their lands, which are under
Armenian ‘occupation."

The portion of those who would prefer a peaceful settlement to the
dispute with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh is 41 percent, while 8
percent were uncertain.

The proponents of the military way of settling the conflict are mainly
young men.

KLO experts said the number of people wishing a peaceful settlement
has grown over their previous survey, but they attribute it to what
they termed as ‘weak patriotic propaganda.’
