    Azeri president threatens Armenia with war

    The Azerbaijan's President Ilkham Aliyev speaking Wednesday at the
    opening ceremony of a military garrison said that his country is
    determinate to reclaim the province of Nagorny Karabakh, a disputed
    territory now controlled by Armenia.

    Aliyev said that "the Azeri people and its army can at any moment
    take steps to restore the territorial integrity of the country.
    International law gives us right to do it. Azerbaijan will strive to
    resolve the conflict over Nagorny Karabakh through negotiations. But
    if we see that any further dialogue brings no results, we will liberate
    the occupied territories at all costs."

    The Azeri president made his harsh statement on May 12 - the tenth
    anniversary of the ceasefire between Armenians and Azerbaijanis in
    Nagorny Karabakh, therefore his words are to be taken most seriously.
    Yet, Izvestia writes that neither Azerbaijan nor Armenia need a new
    war, and the peace negotiations, however difficult they might be,
    will probably continue.
