Aliev: Azerbaijan Might Use Force Over Nagorno-Karabagh

Baku ` Azerbaijan, Nov. 21, 09 (Hamsayeh.Net) – Azerbaijan
President Elham Aliev warned Armenia that his nation might resort to
military force to resolve its territorial dispute if talks fail.

The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan plan on meeting over
Nagorno-Karabagh next week if all goes according to plan.

Aliev said, `If that meeting fails to produce result, our hopes for
negotiations will vanish,’ while attending a gathering with Azeri
refugees from the enclave.

Nagorno-Karabagh is a small enclave within the Azerbaijan borders that
has a large Armenian population. The enclave is also claimed by
Armenia.

The two countries entered military confrontation in 1994 soon after
the break up of the Soviet Union. Azerbaijan lost control over the
region in a rebellion by local Armenians, supported by Armenia’s
military. Thousands died and many more displaced from both sides of
the borders.

The President of Azerbaijan said he hopes for a peaceful settlement of
issue within a limited time frame. `We have the right to free our land
using military force,’ he said.
