After the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs urged Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev to refrain from militant rhetoric, Azerbaijani Minister
of Defense Safar Abiyev has undertaken this mission to carry it
out with martinetism. At his meeting with his Polish counterpart
Bogdan Klich today Minister Abiyev stated that "the negotiations
conducted within the OSCE Minsk Group for 15 years have not produced
any results. Under the circumstances, Azerbaijan has nothing to do
but resort to a military solution to the problem."

Thus, according to Abiyev, the Armenian-Azerbaijani presidential
meeting in Munich did not show any progress, which [progress]
was officially reported by Elhan Polukhov, Press Secretary of the
Azerbaijani Foreign Office, yesterday. Also, the mediators turn out to
have lied when they spoke of the progress. "Azerbaijan has nothing
to do but resort to a military solution to the problem," stated
Minister Abiyev, who must have received President Aliyev’s order to
start military operations. Azerbaijan has nothing to do, but..!

Noteworthy is the calm response to the Azerbaijani side’s threats
on the part of the press services of the relevant Armenian and
Nagorno-Karabakh agencies.
