Azeri Defense Chief Again Threatens War With Armenians

Azerbaijan renewed threats to end the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by force on Tuesday, with Defense Minister Safar Abiyev saying that the Armenian side is leaving Baku with no other option.

"Unwilling to peacefully return Azerbaijan's occupied lands, Armenia is every day bringing forward the start of a new war," Azerbaijani news agencies quoted Abiyev as telling General Myles Deering, the visiting commander of the Oklahoma National Guard.

Abiyev complained that long-running mediation efforts by the U.S., Russian and French co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group have not produced any "concrete results." In these circumstances, he said, Azerbaijan has no option but to "liberate the occupied territories."
