Baku, 2 September, Trend correspondent I. Qasimli: “If I have not
refused the talks, it means that I hope they will bear fruit. I
do not intend to have talks for imitation and if I see there is
no result or benefit, Azerbaijan will be the first to interrupt
the talks”, Trend news agency quoted Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev as telling journalists on 2 September on the significance of
the bilateral talks for the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani

hope that these talks will yield results: Azerbaijan’s lands will
be liberated and its territorial integrity will be restored”, the
