    Baku Threatens Armenia with War While in Turkey

    Azerbaijan is committed to a peaceful resolution of its
    Nagorno-Karabakh dispute with Armenia, but it may resort to military
    measures in the future if efforts to end the dispute through talks
    fail, a senior official of the Azerbaijani administration said on
    Friday, reports Turkish news source Today's Zaman.

    Ramiz Mehdiyev, the head of the Azerbaijani presidential
    administration, speaking to editors-in-chief of television news
    programs and newspapers in Ä°stanbul, said:

    `Azerbaijan has committed itself to resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh
    dispute peacefully. But we may bring to the table other options,
    including military measures, in the future if this method fails to
    produce an outcome. Our patience is wearing thin.'

    Mehdiyev had talks with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÄ?an,
    Parliament Speaker Mehmet Ali Å?ahin and Foreign Minister Ahmet
    DavutoÄ?lu during his three-day official visit to Turkey. He described
    the meetings as `extremely useful' at the meeting with media
    representatives.

    Turning his attention to the Armenia-Turkey Protocols, Mehdiyev said
    the signing of the protocols cannot harm Azerbaijani-Turkish relations
    because they are two `brother nations.'

    He also said the Turkish officials he had met in Ankara reaffirmed
    that the Turkish-Armenian border would not be opened before the
    Karabakh problem is solved. Turkey closed its border because of
    Nagorno-Karabakh, and it will not be reopened unless the occupation of
    the territory is ended, he said.

    The head of Azerbaijan's presidential staff also told reporters that
    he was discontent with the OSCE Minsk Group's activities, saying that
    their efforts have not brought about any outcome and that the group
    was not doing what is needed to be done.
