Karabakh may be freed in military way - Azerbaijani president

BAKU. Nov 8 (Interfax) - The Karabakh problem may have a military solution if Armenia continues to occupy Azerbaijani lands, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said at a funeral of two Azerbaijani servicemen killed in deterring Armenian attacks on Azerbaijani positions.

"We will hold negotiations as long as there is hope for peaceful restoration of our territorial integrity. If we see that this is impossible, the Azerbaijani state will restore its territorial integrity in a military way," the president said.

High readiness and morale of Azerbaijani servicemen make the military liberation possible, he remarked.
