According to ITAR TASS, Azeri President stated that the issue of
separating Nagorno Karabakh can’t be discussed neither now nor after
10 or 100years. Ilham Aliyev said during a government meeting “that
the occupation of Azerilands can’t last forever, as its end is close.”
He said that when the Armenians leave the occupied territories, the
Azeri residents will return there, and only then the issue of Nagorno
Karabakh can be settled. “NKR can be given the highest rank of
autonomy that ever existed in the world, but only in the structure of
Azerbaijan,” Aliyev said.
