"As soon as Azerbaijan is ready to return the occupied Nagorno
Karabakh regions and recognize NKR independence, when it gets rid of
its medieval mentality, Baku can ask NKR for tnegotiations on issues
of mutual interest," Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shaavarsh
Kocharyan said, commenting on his Azerbaijani counterpart Araz
Azimov’s statements.

"Co-Chairs suggest returning 5 occupied territories of Azerbaijan
and Lachin corridor, followed by Armenia’s requesting official Baku
for time to return Lachin and Kelbajar," Deputy Foreign Minister of
Azerbaijan Araz Azimov said in an interview with public television
yesterday.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
