    Baku not to allow Armenia to legalize Karabakh's annexation - Azeri official

    ANS TV, Baku
    26 Mar 04


    [Presenter] Armenia will launch new attacks against Azerbaijan, MP
    Anar Mammadxanli has given journalists this sensational information.

    [Correspondent over video of the Armenian parliament] Attention - the
    Armenian parliament is preparing to adopt a decision to annex Karabakh
    and other occupied territories to Armenia. The decision is expected in
    June. Azerbaijan must prepare for war, MP Anar Mammadxanli made this
    sensational statement.

    [Anar Mammadxanli speaking to microphone] They want to draw Azerbaijan
    into a war. Because there is deadlock, i.e. the peace talks are
    fruitless. This actually means a war. Armenia actually started the war
    against Azerbaijan in 1988 and we were not ready for that. I think
    that Azerbaijan should be ready today.

    [Correspondent] Mammadxanli said that he had informed relevant bodies
    about this.

    [Mammadxanli] Naturally, international organizations, the OSCE Minsk
    Group, superpowers and the European Union should warn Armenia against
    this. They should warn Armenia against taking such a step. Because
    this will completely change the situation.

    [Correspondent] The MP thinks that [Armenian President] Robert
    Kocharyan had to take such fascist-style steps to restore his lost
    reputation and maintain his power in Armenia. However, official Baku
    will do everything possible to prevent Armenia from taking such a
    decision and to liberate its lands in a military way. Azerbaijan will
    not give the enemy a single inch of its land.

    [Passage omitted: Reported details]

    [Correspondent] The head of the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry press
    service, Ramiz Malikov, said that the Azerbaijani army is ready for
    war. Azerbaijan will get the opportunity to return everything it has
    lost if Armenia launches military operations. Malikov said Armenia
    will lose if it fights a war. According to him, no state will support
    Armenia since the international community has already recognized it as
    an aggressor.

    The head of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry press service, Matin
    Mirza, said that official Baku will not allow the Armenian parliament
    to legalize the annexation of Nagornyy Karabakh to Armenia. Our
    country's embassies abroad will be instructed in this regard and they
    will call on the world community to take a step against Armenia.
