Aliyev Vows War as US Presses for Karabakh Summit

Ilham Aliyev and James Warlick

BAKU, WASHINGTON–Frustrated by what he calls a failure by the OSCE Minsk Group to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev threatened war against Artsakh, while the Minsk Group US Co-chairman urged Aliyev and Armenia’s President Serzh Sarkisian to meet in Paris for Karabakh talks.

Speaking after Azerbaijani Army military exercises on Thursday, Aliyev said that his country’s patience is running out and if the mediators do not resolve the conflict, he would have no other choice that to establish “territorial sovereignty” through force.

“We will stick to negotiations for the time being. But I want to once again state that we are running out of patience and that the Azerbaijani army is ready to carry out its commander-in-chief’s orders,” Aliyev said expressing his frustration that the Minsk Group mediators were more interested in establishing confidence-building measures than resolving the conflict.

For the Azerbaijani leader, resolving the conflict would mean the return of Karabakh to Azerbaijan, vowing that there will not be a second “illegitimate” Armenian republic on historic Azerbaijan, hinting at his earlier assertions that the Republic of Armenia is part of a historic Azerbaijan.

Meanwhile, in an interview with Voice of America, Warlick, the US Minsk Group Co-Chairman urged the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to accept an invitation made by French President Francois Hollande and meet in Paris to continue talks on the Karabakh conflict.

“The presidents should accept this invitation, as a new stage is needed and it is crucial that the presidents meet,” said Warlick, who expressed alarm at the frequency of cross-border skirmishes.

“The US is very concerned about this, one life lost is already a reason for concern and more frequent cases of violence do not create the atmosphere amid which both parties can work together successfully for the sake of peace,” said Warlick. “A threat exists that the situation could get out of control and lead to resumption of hostilities – this is not wanted and measures should be taken to decrease tension.”

    The West and the US should recognize Artsakh before Russia gains a major advantage in the region by continuing to support undemocratic, saber-rattling and unsavory leaders and exacerbating this never-ending conflict.

    Armenia should face reality, history has not change, Armenian borders have always been in danger. God give Armenia the strength to defend them selfs.

    The world has been a global war zone ever since humanity, I think the fear of war makes people weak, there should be no fear, fear must be embraced and if possible prevent war not fear it.

    This all coincides with the recent revelations of massive weapons sales by Mother Russia. The plan is being perfectly cooked up by Mr. Putin and Mr. Aliyev. First they announce the weapon sales, then they create tension about the Eurasian Union, next flare up incidents on all fronts, follow up with war talk and finally create a pretense for an attack.

    Russia is a regional power and wants complete hegemony over its southern regions. Make no mistake about it, Mr. Putin will through Armenia under the bus and hand over Karabakh if that is what it will take to bring the oil rich Azeris back into the fold.

    We are boasting as usual that in case of a war Armenia would occupy more territories. I’m not so sure about that but I’m sure Russia and Azerbaidjan (through our “ally” Russia} know exactly what are Armenia’s capabilities and consequently they might wage war on Armenia.

    All it will take is one lucrative gas or energy deal for Russia from Azerbaijain, or one desirable concession regarding the Russian trade union, and Artsakh will be a memory. Our fortitude and willpower are no match for billions of dollars of military equipment and a nationalistic zeal, no matter how incompetent the country who owns them is.

    The position of strength may have been 10+ years ago. Now time is simply and irreversibly in Azerbaijan’s favor, particularly with the corrupt and sniveling Armenian government “leaders” doing absolutely nothing to strengthen the nation. To think there will be an Artsakh 25 years from now is to delude ourselves. Recapturing this territory is quite literally the full obsession of the Azeri foreign policy, and nothing short of a retaliatory military attack from Russia onto Azeri sovereign territory will dissuade them–something the Russian bear will be happy to backroom deal away.

    This news is not a complete news without Russia’s position is explained. Given the fact that Russia is deeply involved in Ukraine problem with Europe, Armenia is facing serious odds in confronting Azerbaijan armed to eir his teeth by the same Russia’s military aid, so will Russia sacrifice his rich client Azerbaijan for defending Armenia politically and militarily or let Ngorno Carabakh be taken back by Azeris like it did by letting West Armenia go to the defeated Turkey at the end of WW1 because he was busy with his Bolshevik Revolution?

    Aliev is playing with fire and as he should shnow that the the fire in the kitchen is getting hotter and he will experience same loss as his father did, it doesnt matter how much weapons he buys with his oil money , the morale of his troops is very low as he knows it and this time Armenia will spare nothing and this will be a lesson for Aliev, but this is because he is mad at loosing the nabucco deal with the south stream of russia and he wants get back at Russia via war and he will loose the war dearly as we speak every one knows that. And Armenia is waiting for the right time at a right moment to hit it were it will hert the most.

      The Armenian Diaspora should recruit and build a Diasporan army of tens of thousands of dedicated Armenians ready to deploy in Artsakh. We should also build special forces military units, much like the US Navy Seals, to get ready to surgically target racist Azeri leaders in any and all four corners of the world when the situation in the motherland demands it. We need to give these pseudo-Turkish mutts a big dose of what we gave to their Mongol mutt Turkish masters a few decades ago.

      We must peacefully pursue our legitimate demands from both the illegal and fascist state of Turkey as well as the artificial state of Azerbaijan but we must also be always ready should the need ever arise to speak to them in the language they both are quite familiar with and respect the most: The language of force and outmost violence.

      Unlike the Azerbaijanis, the Armenians are a distinct people with distinct origin and a nation state whose history and existence go back thousands of years. The free and independent republics of Armenia, the current Armenian republic as well as the one in 1918, are the continuation of the Armenian nation states, a fraction of historic Armenian homeland under Turkish and pseudo-Turkish Azerbaijani occupation. Both Artsakh, falsely known as Karabakh, and Nakhichevan are ancient Armenian provinces which in 1921 were placed administratively under Azeri SSR control by the Soviets as part of their divide-and-rule policy. In other words, the Soviets deliberately kept part of historic Armenia and its Armenian population hostage to our centuries-old racial enemy as a way to dictate their totalitarian policy on Armenia proper.

      The Armenian nation has existed in the South Caucasus and Asia Minor, aka Western Armenia currently under Turkish occupation, long before there were any Turkic people in the region to speak of. The Turks occupying the Western Armenian provinces are non-native invaders from the plains of Mongolia and Northern China. Their pseudo-Turkish Azerbaijani slaves are a made-up and fabricated nation with ancient Persian roots mixed with non-native Turkic newcomers to the region.

      The republic of Azerbaijan is an artificial state, a gas station disguised as a country, of less than a century old which was invented by their Turkish masters in 1918 as part of pan-Turkic and pan-Turanic ideology to wipe Armenia off the map after putting an end to the Armenian existence in Western Armenia by committing the Armenian Genocide in 1915 and confiscating their homeland.

      The Armenians, as well as other murdered native Christians, are the only indigenous people in the region. The Turks are outsiders who created their empire by invasion, occupation, mass murder and subjugation of the native people of the land they governed. They created their fascist state in 1923 on Armenian homeland after solving the Armenian Question by getting rid of the Armenians themselves. The pseudo-Turkish Azerbaijanis currently occupying the territories north of the Aras River are also non-native occupiers and the only native ones are those from the south of the Aras River in northwestern Iran. However, the name Azerbaijan is fabricated and derived from the Persian words Azer+Padegan in which Azer means Fire and Padegan means a fortress or a garrison and it is a location in northwestern Persia. The names Azerbaijan, as well as the Azerbaijani nation, are both fabricated. Neither ever existed as distinct entities from Persia.

      Any Azerbaijani who denies the Armenian existence in their historic homeland and utters the racist words expressed by his racist donkey-in-chief Aliyev must have his tongue cut out. The donkey-in-chief himself should be executed for his false hate-filled desperate racist words.

    God forbid if war broke out it will be very quick 10-15 days.

    People need to remember as much weapons as azeri have or money wont help.

    Armenian soldiers are dug in the trenches goodluck trying to get them out of the trenches plus we hold the high ground.

    Armenia has a weak spot anyone that has a military background will know which area in karabakh is weak if we can defend that successfully azeri army will have HUGE number of casulties. We are talking 10 thousand plus soldiers dieing in a matter of days. How do you think that will turn out in sultan alieyvs country?

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
