Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Russia announced about military solution to Karabakh conflict

“Azerbaijan has military capacities today. If the conflict is not settled through peaceful methods, we will be settling it by force. To prevent war, it is necessary to exert certain pressure on Armenia so that it withdraws its troops from the occupied territory of Azerbaijan,” Polad Bülbüloğlu, Azerbaijan’s Ambassador to Russia to TVrain.ru.

 
“President of Russia Vladimir Putin interfered, Sergey Lavrov held a phone call, Defense Minister Shoigu did the same. The CSTO and Mr. Bordyuzha said they are ‘concerned.’ Bordyuzha often visits Yerevan. Let him explain to his colleagues what they should do to prevent war. It is necessary to understand that it is not a solution to the problem. They can interfere and calm down the situation, and then it escalates again in ten days, in a month, in two months. It is necessary to settle the conflict. It is necessary to pull back the troops from the five territories around Karabakh to settle the conflict. Otherwise, there will be clashes,” the ambassador said.

Commenting on the role of the OSCE Minsk Group, the ambassador said they have been mediating the negotiations for fourteen years already, but there is no result. “It is necessary to declare strictly from the position of the International Law who occupied whose lands. It is necessary to ask or demand the occupants to leave. Then the long-await peace will come,” he said.
