ArmInfo. Defense Minister is the very person to make such militarist
statements, especially when he is studying the situation with bordering
territories. Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mamedyarov said in
response to the question of ArmInfo special correspondent regarding
the recent militarists statements by Azerbaijani Defense Minister
Safar Abiyev.
Asked if he agrees to the militarist statements being a participant
in the peace process, E. Mamedyarov said: ‘I think that as long as
the territories are occupied and the conflict and the problem of the
local population of Nagorny Karabakh are unsettled, there will be
negative background.
Naturally, there are people who say that if we fail to settle the
conflict by peaceful methods we must do it by force since the problem
originated because of the military actions. As physicists say any
action leads to counteraction. But for the war, the military statements
might be inexpedient. There is a cause and effect relationship here
since there was war and people were expelled. That is why, military
statements are made’, the foriegn minister of Azerbaijan said.
