According to Financial Times.com, Safar Abiyev, Azerbaijan’s defense
minister, told Gabriel Keller, the French Ambassador to Baku, on
Thursday, that foreign diplomats had failed to negotiate a resolution
of the Karabakh conflict and that Azerbaijan’s patience was wearing
thin.
"Azerbaijan cannot wait another 15 years. Now it is up to the military
and the risk is getting closer. If the Armenian occupiers do not
withdraw from Azerbaijan’s land the outbreak of a great war in the
South Caucasus is inevitable," Abiyev is reported to have said.
