Sabir Hajiyev MP Sabir Hajiyev, chairman of the Civic Unity Party,
has joined the chorus of comments on the liberation of Azerbaijan’s
occupied land by force if the peace negotiations with Armenia fail.

"As you know, our president and foreign minister are continuing
negotiations on the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, but every
negotiating process should have a time limit, we cannot continue
endless discussions – we want a result as soon as possible," Hajiyev
told 1news.az.

"If Armenia tries to protract the conflict settlement, we have neither
the time nor the will for this, and in this sense I share the opinion
of the country’s president and defence minister that if the talks
are ineffective we have to liberate our lands through war.

"You know our patience is exhausted," the deputy said.

Asked about the causes of Armenia’s behaviour, the deputy said:
"Armenia has an unrealistic approach to life. Otherwise, it would have
understood that it has no alternative to normalizing relations with
Azerbaijan. However, ambitions prevent this country from understanding
reality and this causes all its failures."
