    ALIYEV FACES A CHOICE: WAR OR PEACE?

    (Noyan Tapan - 27.06.2011) The result of a survey carried out
    in Azerbaijan a few days before the meeting to be held in Kazan
    shows that the Azerbaijan people think that the only solution
    to Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a war. On the eve of the meeting
    the president of Azerbaijan Ihlam Aliyev clearly spoke about the
    possibility of a war presenting the difference between the military
    budgets of Armenia and Azerbaijan, which, in Aliyev's words, has
    tendencies of deepening. Aliyev spoke about this during an interview
    with the Euronews TV channel.

    The futile end of the meeting held in Kazan was once again conditioned
    with the destructive position of the Azerbaijan side regardless of
    the international pressure and calls on the quick solution to the
    conflict. Moreover, on June 26, a military march took place in Baku on
    the Day of the Azerbaijan Army, during which president Aliyev made a
    performance and once again stressed the need of taking back so-called
    "the occupied territories of Azerbaijan" by all means, noting: "We are
    in a condition of a war. The war hasn't ended yet, that was the first
    phase of the war, and the state army at war must be very powerful.

    Today, the state budget of Azerbaijan first of all pays attention
    to the military expenses which are for the liberation of our
    territories..."

    A president who makes such declarations, doesn't tend to the peace
    settlement of the issue, as the propagation of threatens and the vital
    military power exacerbates the tension more existing between Armenia
    and Azerbaijan. On the other hand, if the Azerbaijan side thinks
    that the only solution to the conflict is the restarting of the war,
    Azerbaijan wouldn't slow down the process, moreover, they will take
    practical steps. However, the Azerbaijan side, actually, taking the
    lessons of the past into consideration and realizing the position of
    the international community to this conflict, avoids restarting the
    war naturally not being sure about the consequences of it.
