ILHAM ALIEV SAYS AZERBAIJAN TO LIBERATE ITS LANDS

BAKU, AUGUST 6, ARMENPRESS: “Peace should be shortly established
in South Caucasus but Karabakh conflict is the major impediment to
it,” Ilham Aliev, Azeri president said yesterday in a joint news
conference with Iranian president Muhammad Khatami. He reiterated
that Armenia has occupied 20 per cent of its land and therefore
cooperation can not be achieved under such conditions.
Aliev said the aggression can not take long and Azerbaijan will
liberate its lands. “Azerbaijan wants to reach this aim by peaceful
means and therefore participates in negotiations insisting that the
conflict be regulated based on international norms, respecting the
right of territorial integrity,” Azeri president said.
