While the Azerbaijan Armed Forces can liberate the lands occupied
by Armenia within the shortest possible period, the only reason
they have not done so is the reluctance to cause another bloodshed,
according to the General Staff of the Azerbaijan Defense Ministry.
"Azerbaijan is capable of liberating its lands militarily at any
moment. It will take just ten days for the Azerbaijan armed forces
to reach the national border with Iran and Armenia after freeing our
occupied lands. There is just one reason that keeps us from making
this step: bloodshed and casualties," the General Staff was quoted
by the ANS television channel as commenting on the recent incidents
in the Karabakh conflict zone.
According to a report from one of the country's defense facilities,
shown on the ANS television, Azerbaijan's defense industry is able
to provide the country's armed forces with a large range of arms
and ammunition.
Several clashes have occurred in the conflict zone since the start
of the week. There were losses on both sides.
At a briefing in Baku on Wednesday U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton expressed concern over growing tensions in the Karabakh
conflict zone and urged both Azerbaijan and Armenia to respect the
1994 cease-fire agreement.
