Peace talks will be halted if `Prague meetings’ fruitless – President

Baku, March 26, AssA-Irada
Talks with Armenia will be halted if Prague process yields no
results, President Ilham Aliyev told the third congress of the ruling
New Azerbaijan Party on Saturday.
`If the Prague talks turns out fruitless, we will face a different
situation. There will be no longer any need for negotiations and
Azerbaijan will have to make major changes to its strategy and
political approaches.’
Aliyev said that international legal norms, economic and military
potential and justice are in favour of Azerbaijan. The Azeri people
will never accept losing their native land and will liberate the
territories by all means, he said.
The President noted that the tendencies observed in the talks are
also in favor of Azerbaijan.
Armenia’s non-constructive position is impeding the solution of the
problem, he added.*
