Z'areh Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yesterday, on Nov 21st, Aliyev again threatened war with Armenia, as he has done before, the only difference this time was him being more specific by mentioning the negotiation on Sunday specifically. He declared that if the upcoming Munich talks fail again then there will be no more hope and Azerbaijan will have to resort to using military means. This statement contrasts with previous more vague and generalized "dissatisfaction" from Armenia and the fact that his specific military threat came a day before the negos. Now, knowing Aliyev and his arrogant demeanor, he probably is shooting off hot air again. But maybe not. Soon we shall find out if Sarkisian has already agreed to some form of concessions and Aliyev is simply trying to get more credit by saying that his latest threat scared the Armenians into real concessions, etc...etc... and therefore look more "heroic" to his people and satisfy his ego. .

Zartonk Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I mean at this point the question is "how hot will the air get". There is certainly a lot of it leaving the Azeri mouth, all highly aggressive and all unchecked by international bodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yervant1 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 The big spoiled kid is losing his toys one by one and saying anything to get attention. Very soon he will be eating his tie as well just like the other idiot in Georgia if he starts the war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z'areh Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Passive Armenian response facing Aliyev's constant war rhetoric is unacceptable. Deserving response should be given by the highest authorities. Sarkissian's press spokesman, Fermanin, saying "Armenia would recognize Karabakh if Azerbaijan start war" is too little, and would be too ineffective. Better action would have been a complete last minute boycott by Armenia. A boycott would have put Aliyev in a very tight spot. I agree with the Asbarez commentator about these ideas. It would have been better, as was suggestet, if the Minsk co-chairs had cancelled the meeting because of Aliyev. What "peaceful" negotiations can possibly take place with such threats. .

Deserving response should be given by the highest authorities. I completely agree. The maneuver of recognition from the president's office makes no diplomatic sense, as it relies on the "ultimatum" threat of armed conflict made by the other side.
