ALIYEV AGAIN THREATENS MILITARY ACTION

Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev has again blamed Armenia for the
deadlock in the Nagorno- Karabakh peace process and threatened to
end the conflict by force "at any moment."
"The war is continuing," Aliyev said in a speech in Baku reported by
Azerbaijani media on Wednesday. "We must be ready and we are ready
to liberate our lands from occupiers at any moment."
"I want to once again state that this primarily requires a military
might. We have for the most part created that might and this process
is successfully continuing."
"Today, the Azerbaijani army- Azerbaijan's military potential- allow
us to do that," he said. "We just want this issue to be resolved by
peaceful means, by means of negotiations."
Aliyev went on to accuse Armenia of "stalling for time" in the long-
running peace talks mediated by the United States, Russia and France.
"If negotiations are scuttled, a new situation will arise and the
issue of solving the problem by military means will be included on
the agenda."
Armenian leaders say Baku itself is impeding further progress in the
talks by rejecting peace proposals made by Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev in June. They have described those proposals as a "new
version" of the so- called Madrid principles of a Karabakh settlement.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has insisted that Russia drafted
them single- handedly without consulting with the U.S. and French co-
chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group. A ministry spokesman said late last
month that they are unacceptable to Baku. He said the most recent
Minsk Group proposal was submitted to the conflicting parties late
last year and it was largely accepted by the Azerbaijani side.
Officials in Armenia and Karabakh have also repeatedly dismissed the
Azerbaijani war threats. "The likelihood of large- scale hostilities
is small," Karabakh President Bako Sahakian said on July 30.

Abdullah Gul: If 18-20 years passes since the independence of
Nagorno Karabakh, it is not a good case
By Times.am at 14 August, 2010, 12:10 pm
On August 16 Turkish President Abdullah Gul will visit Azerbaijan. As
it was informed the main topic of discussions will be Nagorno Karabakh
conflict. On the eve of his visit, Abdullah Gul gave an interview to
APA's Turkish bureau.
`I believe that this status-quo in the Caucasus is not in favor of
anyone - Azerbaijan, Turkey or Armenia. The world is changing and we
need to solve the problems. If we freeze the problems, they can arise
again',- he mentioned.
According to Abdullah Gul there are UN resolutions and the Minsk Group
is doing serious efforts, but unfortunately it couldn't achieve
concrete results during 18 years. He also expressed opinion that if
18-20 years passes since the independence of Nagorno Karabakh, it is
not a good case.
`The territorial integrity of every country should be respected in the
contemporary world system. Armenia can establish good relations with
its neighbors and reach access to sea and join the communication
systems. Turkey is a great country. While reaching `zero problem' in
the relations with our neighbors, it is not good to have problems with
Armenia. Therefore fair solution of the regional problems is in favor
of all of us',- he said.
Turkish president is encouraging Minsk Group not to have just
touristic travels and think a little bit about problem solving. `I put
forward this initiative in 2008. First I visited Yerevan and then
Sargsyan visited Turkey. We informed President Ilham Aliyev about the
details of these processes. Putin and Medvedev also participated in
these processes. Russia is an important country in the solution of
this problem. Therefore we had detailed consultations around these
issues'- Gil mentioned in the Interview.
According to him such heavy problems can't be solved under the
pressure of one country, they can be solved by the serious efforts of
the interested and regional countries. `I took it into consideration
and made this breakthrough in 2008 and the stones were shaken. There
were wrong understandings in Armenia, Azerbaijan and in Turkey as
well. If the difficult issues are solved easily they will not have a
chronic character'- he said.
Abdullah Gul also made an address to all leaders: 'We will not stay
put and we will work unceasingly for the solution of the problem. The
solution and peace are not easy. We have to work insistently. I will
discuss these issues with my brother President Ilham Aliyev during my
visit. I believe it will be a useful visit from this point of view'.
