In particular, it read: "Unless the peace negotiations through the mediation of OSCE Minsk group undo the Karabakh knot, Azerbaijan will cut it with a sword. In other words, the military forces of Azerbaijan will perform their function of defending the territorial integrity of the country. This is the main point of the statement of Azerbaijani defense minister, General-Colonel Safar Abiyev". "We considered the recurrent statements of Azerbaijani opposition forces about the necessity of solving the Karabakh problem in a military way as election rhetoric", said the Armenian official to MEDIAMAX."But if these appeals are supported by the defense minister of Azerbaijan, we can't be but worried and bewildered", declared the Armenian diplomat. --0-- Top stories Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to social media to thank his Lithuanian counterpart for the contribution.
