BAKU, Azerbaijan — Armenia must voluntarily cede Azerbaijani territory
if it wants to avoid a new war over Nagorno-Karabakh, the Azerbaijani
president said yesterday.

President Ilkham Aliyev said Azerbaijan will never put up with the
occupation of its lands and is ready to free them by any means,
including military.

The conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, a region in Azerbaijan with a
largely Armenian population, first erupted in 1988 when it declared
its independence from Azerbaijan, and moved to join Armenia.
