Turkey’s officials respond to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliev’s
‘stunned statement’ on ‘use force to take back Nagorno-Karabakh
region’.

According to Turkey’s Sabah paper, this trigger-happy Aliev’s speaking
was perceived by Ankara just as a bluff. "Our wish is not to close
doors, but to provide solving in talks," told Sabah’s correspondent
a Turkish official.

Two days earlier, Azerbaijani President said in case of fruitless
negotiations in Munich will exhaust all hope, and will have no choice.

"We have the full right to liberate our land by military means,"
Aliev said.
