INTERNATIONAL SITUATION FAVORS KARABAKH CONFLICT SETTLEMENT, SAYS
ILHAM ALIYEV
BAKU, JUNE 30. ARMINFO-TURAN. Karabakh conflict talks are proceeding
in a positive direction, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said at a joint
press conference with Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Asked about perspectives of the conflict settlement, he said
Azerbaijan’s position is “preferable” both from legal and historical
viewpoints.
Activity at the talks gives reasons to hope, otherwise negotiations
would have no sense, said Aliyev and added that attitude of world
community to the conflict has also changed. He recalled Council of
Europe’s resolution on Karabakh, “which has created conditions for
continuation of negotiations.”
The conflict must be solved with account of Azerbaijan’s territorial
integrity and respect for international law, said Aliyev. World
community does not understand position of the Armenian side, which
is based “rather on dreams, than on reality.”
“We believe that breakthrough will be achieved at this stage of the
talks and the conflict will be resolved,” concluded Ilham Aliyev.
