Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry

The Foreign Ministry is looking into reported comments by a European mediator that Azerbaijan would not win a war with Armenia.

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry is investigating the statements made by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair from France, Bernard Fassier, in Yerevan and will declare Azerbaijan's position, Foreign Ministry Elkhan Polukhov said on Saturday.

Armenian news agencies reported Fassier as telling a NATO seminar in Yerevan on Friday that, 'Azerbaijan’s victory in the event of renewed war is impossible, because I know about the bravery of Armenian and Karabakh warriors.'

This seems to be Armenian fiction, Elkhan Polukhov said.

'If such serious statements are made by one of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, they should be explained,' he concluded. 

Fassier went on to say at the seminar, 'People must understand that neighbours are destined to live next to each other.' He said that the use of force and resumption of war would not solve the Karabakh conflict.
