If Armenia does not free the occupied territories of Azerbaijani, a
war in the South Caucasus is inevitable, Azerbaijani Defense Minister
Safar Abiyev said today during a meeting with French Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary Ambassador to Azerbaijan Gabriel Keller.
During the meeting, which discussed military cooperation between the
two countries, the defense minister touched upon the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict.
He said diplomats have failed to achieve concrete results for 15
years of negotiations.
"Azerbaijan will not be able to wait 15 more years. Now the war is
inevitable and the threat is gradually approaching," Abiyev said.
The French ambassador introduced the new military attaché appointed
to Azerbaijan at the meeting.
