Azerbaijan's president threatens war with Armenia
8/7/2014 4:27:09 PM
Azerbaijan's president has threatened war with Armenia via Twitter, after dozens were killed in clashes over a disputed area of land that both countries lay claim to.
In a lengthy series of tweets, President Ilham Aliyev said several Azeri lives had been lost in clashes over Nagorno-Karabakh, and pledged to restore what he said was his country's "territorial integrity".
The two sides began fighting over the mountainous region in the final years of the USSR. Armenian forces took de facto control of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Writing in English on Twitter today, Aliyev countered: "As a result of attacks launched by Armenian occupying forces, our army suffered losses. Several servicemen have become martyrs."
Referring to Armenia as "the enemy" and "the occupiers," Aliyev said the people of Azerbaijan were disappointed with a perceived lack of action by international mediators to bring the stand-off to an end.
"We will restore our sovereignty. The flag of Azerbaijan will fly in all the occupied territories, including Shusha and Khankandi [in Nagorno-Karabakh]," he wrote. "Just as we have beaten the Armenians on the political and economic fronts, we are able to defeat them on the battlefield".
