BAKU, October 13 (Itar-Tass) – Azerbaijani President Ilkham Aliyev
stated it is inadmissible to apply double standards with respect to
conflicts, including the one in Nagorno Karabakh.
“All issues should be considered through the prism of international
law,” the head of state said in an interview with Baku-based television
channels.
In his view, the main task is to develop a mechanism to implement
the UN and OSCE decision on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
“Regrettably, there is no such mechanism at present. The United
Nations adopted four resolutions on the Karabakh conflict, but none
of them is being implemented.”
Despite this fact, the mechanism of sanctions is not used. The
Azerbaijani leader said he was convinced that “the use of mechanisms
of international law will help achieve the settlement of the conflict
soon.”
He said the situation around the Karabakh problem would be considered
at the January session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council
of Europe.
“The report on the subject is ready, it’s very positive, reflecting
the real situation,” Ilkham Aliyev said.
The head of state expressed confidence that the discussion of the
document “will prove the fact of Armenia’s occupation of Azerbaijani
territories.”
Azerbaijan wants the Council of Europe to give a political evaluation
of the conflict.
“It will become a solid legal basis for resolving the problem,”
the president said.
