/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `The militaristic statements to return the seized
land by force have become very frequent recently. Is it a coincidence?
For all appearance it’s not. In the opinion of representatives of
international structures and specifically the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-chairs, the year of 2006 can become the most suitable for a
peaceful settlement. There is an expression `Lie repeated many times
becomes the truth at last’. Perhaps hurhaber.com Turkish website tried
to make the expression true,’ Zerkalo Baku-based newspaper writes.

According to acting head of the Azerbaijani press office Ilgar
Verdiyev, this information does not correspond to reality and peaceful
talks are going on. As for Azerbaijani MFA’s position, head of the
department of information policy Tahir Taghizade remarked he does not
think it’s necessary to comment on the nonsense spread by the Turkish
website. `Azerbaijan abides by the peaceful settlement,’ Taghizade
said.

For his part, independent political scientist Eldar Namazov remarked
that the information is either an obvious stupidity or serious
provocation. According to the political scientist a paradox situation
occurs, presently hostilities can be profitable for Armenia, but it’s
Azerbaijan, who makes military statements. He also noted that the
U.S. is not interested in the resumption of hostilities, since in this
case the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline will be receded into the
background.

In the words of political scientist Rasim Musabekov, the website is
not at all known and the information furnished by it doesn’t need any
comments.

To remind, Media-forum Azeri online newspaper with a reference to
hurhaber.com that allegedly received the information from a diplomatic
source, said that within 1 or 2 day Azerbaijan will start war for
Karabakh.
