Azerbaijani Defense Ministry responds to Armenian minister's threat

Spokesman for the ministry Eldar Sabiroglu said it was not the first similar statement by Ohanyan.

“It is unreasonable, because the international community exerts influence on Armenia to solve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict within the framework of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity. The leadership of Armenian army makes this kind of statements to mislead the people and hide people’s distrust to the army. Azerbaijan has a very strong army and is ready to prevent any aggression,” he said.

Sabiroglu said there are two ways of solving the conflict and did not rule out war, in case the occupied territories are not freed peacefully.

“There are two ways of solution, peace or war. Azerbaijan does not want bloodshed. We support peaceful settlement of the problem. But if it is impossible, Azerbaijan is capable of liberating its lands. This aggression can not last for ever,” he said.
