MAMEDYAROV SAYS BAKU WILL STRIVE FOR PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT OF NAGORNO
KARABAKH CONFLICT

BAKU, AUGUST 19, ARMENPRESS: Baku will strive to the last point to
settle Nagorno Karabakh conflict peacefully, Azeri foreign minister
Elmar Mamediarov told a news conference today. He said that Nagorno
Karabakh “is the major conflict in the region and the oldest.” The
minister opposed the possibility of “freezing” the conflict. “We do
not believe that conflicts can be frozen,” he said. “International
community should understand that force is not a method for solution.
Armenian military forces have occupied territories,” Azeri foreign
minister said. “Such superpowers as USA, France and Russia should say
their word. The principle of territorial integrity is inviolable.”
