Azerbaijani Defense Ministry has responded to Armenian Defense Minister
Seyran Ohanyan’s threat of war.
Spokesman for the ministry Eldar Sabiroglu said it was not the first
similar statement by Ohanyan.
"It is unreasonable, because the international community exerts
influence on Armenia to solve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict within
the framework of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity. The leadership
of Armenian army makes this kind of statements to mislead the people
and hide people’s distrust to the army. Azerbaijan has a very strong
army and is ready to prevent any aggression," he said.
Sabiroglu said there are two ways of solving the conflict and did
not rule out war, in case the occupied territories are not freed
peacefully.
"There are two ways of solution, peace or war. Azerbaijan does not
want bloodshed. We support peaceful settlement of the problem. But if
it is impossible, Azerbaijan is capable of liberating its lands. This
aggression can not last for ever," he said.
