‘Aggressor unequivocally turned into object of reproach’ – President

Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
Dec 18 2004

President Ilham Aliyev stated with regard to the closeness observed of
late in the Armenia-Iran relations that bilateral relations between
Azerbaijan, which pursues an independent foreign policy course,
and Iran should meet both countries’ interests.

The President pointed that the dialogue between the two countries has
intensified and that this country has repeatedly supported Azerbaijan’s
territorial integrity with regard to the Upper Garabagh conflict.

As for Iran’s relations with other countries, Aliyev termed this as
this country’s prerogative.

He emphasized the importance of taking into account every process
that takes place in the region in maintaining relations.

“I hope that the aggressor has unequivocally turned into an object
of reproach for the sake of peace and stability, and international
organizations and regional states should state their position on the
issue as well.”
