Azerbaijan’s patience over Karabakh running out, president says

Azerbaijan’s patience in the peace talks on Nagornyy Karabakh is
running out, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has said.

Addressing the forum of the youth in the Azerbaijani capital on 14
October, Aliyev said: “I have said and I am saying again. Since the
talks and opportunities have not exhausted, we are trying to continue
the peace talks. However, our patience has limits and is not endless.
For how long can we continue these talks? For how long will this
situation remain unchanged? This is our right.

“The whole international community recognizes, supports and expresses
a clear attitude towards Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity. However,
the issue has not been resolved due to various reasons. I would not
like to talk much about this.

“I am totally convinced that given our wish to resolve the
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagornyy Karabakh conflict fairly – within
Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity – along with the talks, one should
pay major attention to a military build-up.”

Aliyev also spoke about Azerbaijan’s achievements in all spheres.
