Most of all the people of nagornokarabakh want peace weve already see it the responsibility for any resumption of the war will rest with the government of azerbaijan today tomorrow and in the future Russias Foreign Ministry said the situation has sharply deteriorated and it had reports of untinged shelling from both sides the kremlin along with the e. U. And france a calling for an immediate ceasefire frequency of escalation even if they are controlled are suggesting we are really entering a very dangerous. Where it can definitely get out of control especially when new players regional players are being dragged into. The disputed sound of the 1901 collapse of the soviet union when i mean in super to seize the territory 30000 died in fighting. In 1904 a cease fire was agreed. But talks to resolve the dispute still. Nearly 2 decades later tensions rose again in july with the worst fighting since 26 doing the last year or so the armenian leader nicol russian nun has been no longer wants to negotiate according to the people like me had been trying to bring together between azerbaijan and armenia he said theyre going to. Be part of armenia that has really very. Negative emotions in azerbaijan. Has repeatedly valve to recapture new cool new karabakh by force and i mean ian has vowed to defend the territory well it is disputed which side moved on sunday morning its clear both remain determined to claim nicol no karabakh as their own shallop ballasts aljazeera. So we have heard from representatives of both governments on aljazeera today speaking directly to us at sea of assistant to the president of azerbaijan and the head of Foreign Policy department of the president of ministration told us azerbaijans aim is to recapture the areas occupied by armenia. The army. And our civilian. Forces. And their. Actions are attacks. Provocations and 1st acts of aggression. And import to peace because negotiation process is also because of the deliberate. Destructive. Mean. Real negotiation. And therefore here 1st theres an. Opportunity to. Use him in time to ensure the. Question at last. So the years. The Council Resolutions demand immediate. So implemented by armenia and azerbaijan. They have a right to. Because of operation. And then the armenian foreign minister minutes. On the news hour and said his country will do whatever it takes to defend the region. Now going on about will be defending every single inch of their land and all of their security and i mean you will be the guarantor they stretch of course have been their usual in the parlance of the other German Government and the end of regime but the latest was in this United NationsGeneral Assembly and theyre just brought this into a practical implementation once again once again they will be a regular basis morning has been approved intentions are going to do long before then oxalis positions and aggressive manner it would our people are 3 square been consistently insisting that the heart of the newborn is the security of our people and they should they have once again who we have to care for security of our interests the people who are going to corrupt our well being are on defense of their freedom their security against this aggression and their aggression that preplanned not just by us and what young but with the massive support charity we has in its military presence and which has been showing its units will aggressive going to levels wont support it rest of approaching. This is very very. Massive escalation also concerns for which president ial hopeful wish if there was a better split response. Lets put a list together now with Robin Forrester walker whos following the story from tbilisi in georgia. Robin the thing i notice from both those interviews its a lot of fun to talk isnt it they are neither side look like they want to step down. Doesnt look to be the case unfortunately what were seeing instead is both governments putting their civilian populations war footing to. Earlier today announced a martial law and mobilization potentially of armenian young men presumably to go into service thats happening in karabakh as well with the forces there and civilian population on a war footing there and now were hearing that the Azeri Parliament has announced a curfew and martial law in certain districts that they say come under attack from the armenians. Internet down in azerbaijan its also difficult to confirm. What is actually really happening on the ground because it is it appears that these areas have themselves made it difficult for people to share information on social media because the Authorities Say theyre concerned with armenian this information being used to confuse the picture of it but that makes it difficult for us as well to be able to say with certainty whats going on and many different claims about how each side is getting on in this conflict at the moment but for instance weve heard that now the armenians claim they shot down a number of aircraft 4 helicopters they say. Manned drones and weve also seen those pictures of tanks being taken out as well as a by john showing aerial footage taken from drones of armenian positions being struck and most recently ive been hearing about these area claims that theyve taken villages back liberated they said from armenian control not necessarily in karabakh but in surrounding districts that have been controlled by Armenian Forces since the 1990 s. Walker following events from tbilisi thank you. A little more history for you would robin started this dispute between azerbaijan and armenia which actually involves a number of other countries we should point out russia 1st of all which is called for a cease fire moscow along with france and the us a part of the minsk group which have been mediating the conflict since 1902 nearby turkey was the 1st to recognize abrasions independence and it continues to have strong relations president to what is called on the International Community to stand with azerbaijan against what he calls an invasion and along the southern border is iran which has promised to help talks to resume between the warring sides. With us now managing editor of the turkish newspaper the daily sabah stand bill nice to see you turkeys position has been out of all those countries the most aggressive the most forthright since this latest flare up started why is turkey taking such a strong stance. Well 1st of all i think turkeys position is in line with the international. You know how do International Law has recognised the region and secondly i think and we what we should consider more significant is that turkey and azerbaijan considered themselves a separate 2 states but one nation and historically there was have been in you know have had strong relationships and their cooperation in defense in in all cultural and historical areas has been you know. Touched due to destroy the relationship but turkey does not necessarily when you know you call that aggressive i call it not aggressive but very Firm Position for azerbaijans rights and the International Loss due to the failure of diplomacy by the minsk group the whole c. E. Group has failed unfortunately to find a solution to this you know a decades long d conflict between the 2 countries it has been pushed under the carpet but unfortunately there is no compromise on both sides it is you know the land is considered by International Law as a bit johns but it is occupied by the armenian and neither side is willing to compromise you know for from their position i think what really sorry to interrupt but i think what sets turkeys response apart yes i used the term aggressive but the reason i did is because other countries iran russia e. U. France are all saying everybody stand down lets find a way through this ceasefire whereas turkey is very much taking a side and saying lets push forward and dont step down. But this is not decides not to been turkeys position for decades and this is because turkey has given diplomacy and azerbaijan has given diplomacy a chance and there are thats why the sides have come together but unfortunately there has been no results and i blame this on on the failure of these states calling for calm calmness but it doesnt go beyond that rhetorical position and actually engaging sides i think the fact that they are saying you know you know lets just calm down and put their arms down and and and lets have peace between us its not a solution that is very feasible when the the region itself is very disputed and its i mean it since the 193900. 00 this region has been a regional dispute so the countries i think need to take a position whether be it for azerbaijan or or or armenia that will bring them together to actually talk to each other and solve the situation rather than just calling for peace i mean we see these same situation in kashmir for example the International Community has also failed there to bring the parties together i think yes turkey is firm in so in its support to azerbaijan and it will continue to to hold that position given the ties between the 2 nations right but turkey is not compromising from diplomacy at the same time he has not neglected the pharmacy and just has been aggressive as you have termed it much of it is from the daily in istanbul thank you for your time.
