Ziyafet Asgarov If the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is not settled
peacefully, the war will be inevitable, said Ziyafet Asgarov.

"The Azerbaijani army is not just ready for war, it is ready for it
on the high level", first vice speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament
Asgarov told reporters in Baku on Friday.

He also noted that the Azerbaijani side will continue efforts for the
international recognition of the Khojaly genocide. "Unfortunately,
the world community does not react to the genocide committed in the
late 20th century by Armenians before the eyes of the whole world,
but Azerbaijan will not lose heart and continue efforts for the
recognition of the genocide", the first vice speaker said.

Armenian armed forces invaded Azerbaijani Khojaly terminating hundreds
of civilians, killing 613, including 106 women and 63 children and
injuring 487 citizens on the night of February 26 of 1992. 1275 were
taken hostages, some 200 people went missing.
