It is natural that the high-ranking military officials of Azerbaijan cannot conceal their offence when they comment on statements issued by the Armenian defense office, Armenian Defense Ministry Spokesman David Karapetyan said as he commented on Azerbaijani Defense Minister Safar Abiyev`s militant statement during his meeting with the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs.
 
Abiyev`s aggression can hardly be explained if, at a meeting with international mediators seeking peace, he speak of war, Karapetyan said.

Armenian News-NEWS.am reminds readers that Azeri Defense Minister Safar Abiyev held a meeting Feb. 11 with the OSCE MG Co-Chairs, as well as with Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk. At the meeting the Azeri defense minister stated that Azerbaijan is seriously preparing to end the occupation of its lands.

Azerbaijani officials make regular statements on a military settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
