According to Financial Times.com, Safar Abiyev, Azerbaijan’s defense minister, told Gabriel Keller, the French Ambassador to Baku, on Thursday, that foreign diplomats had failed to negotiate a resolution of the Karabakh conflict and that Azerbaijan’s patience was wearing thin.

“Azerbaijan cannot wait another 15 years. Now it is up to the military and the risk is getting closer. If the Armenian occupiers do not withdraw from Azerbaijan’s land the outbreak of a great war in the South Caucasus is inevitable,” Abiyev is reported to have said.
