    AGDAM PROCEEDINGS OF ALIYEV

    Vestnik Kavkaza, Russia
    Aug 8 2014

    8 August 2014 - 12:25pm

    Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev visited the Agdam District on the
    frontline on the eve of the trilateral meeting of the Azerbaijani,
    Armenian and Russian presidents dedicated to the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict.

    At the meeting with soldiers and officers located at the military base,
    the president assured that Azerbaijan was capable of destroying any
    facility in Nagorno-Karabakh and was armed accordingly. But only the
    policy of Baku has been keeping the region stable.

    The Azerbaijani army has totally dominated, mostly due to
    professionalism and combat readiness, high-level technical support.

    Azerbaijan has recently been producing modern weapons and vehicles,
    purchasing air defenses, powerful artillery systems, high-precision
    missile systems, combat and transport helicopters, armed vehicles,
    tanks. "We will continue building up our combat potential," promised
    Aliyev.

    In his opinion, "if the Azerbaijani army starts acting, the enemy's
    position will be very complicated. We know it, our enemy knows it
    and our mediators know it." Ilham Aliyev emphasized the role of
    mediators at the meeting with the population of the Agdam District,
    believing that complication of the situation in the conflict zone would
    activate and encourage Armenia to end occupation. "The war is not over,
    only the first stage has ended. The second one may start," assumes
    the Azerbaijani leader. Azerbaijan does not want war but it wants
    its lands back. Yerevan, on the other hand, prefers the status quo,
    neither war nor peace. Mediators seem to be fine with the situation.

    "I hope that the strikes our enemy suffered recently will be a signal
    to it. In the near future, the Armenian side will understand that the
    issue cannot be dragged out," said Aliyev. In his words, Armenia is an
    independent state that cannot survive on its own. In such situation,
    the international community can put pressure on Yerevan and demand
    withdrawal from Azerbaijani lands.

    The last escalation of tensions on the contact line resulted in
    losses for Azerbaijan and Armenia. The world was convinced that the
    Karabakh conflict was not frozen. "The sponsors of Armenia, groups
    in foreign states and the Armenian diaspora, should understand that
    Armenia may encounter big problems if it fails to comply with its
    obligations, if it does not follow the decisions of international
    organizations and does not free our lands, their end will be bad,"
    said the Azerbaijani leader.

    Maybe this is a position that will gain support for the Azerbaijani
    president at the Sochi summit. And the declarations in Agdam could
    resemble a prologue to it. How will Moscow react to the position of
    Baku? It seems the Russian capital is taking the Azerbaijani side. At
    least in the expert community. Many understand today that the first
    step towards settlement of the Karabakh conflict is de-occupation of
    the territories that are not part of Nagorno-Karabakh and the return
    of refugees. Russia needs stability on its borders and we can hope
    that a constructive agenda will be formed at the Sochi summit.
