/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated that
“Armenia’s non-constructive position on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement forces Baku to amend the policy on the issue.” “We adhere
to the peaceful negotiations but they however have not yielded any
result yet. Under such conditions we have to reconsider our policy,”
Aliyev said. Delivering a speech at the ceremony of handing the
combat banner, opening of the museum and monument to Heydar Aliyev
at the Academy of the Ministry of National Security Ilham Aliyev
noted that “Azerbaijan’s position on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
is unchangeable – the territorial integrity of the country should be
restored.” At that he added that the potential of the peaceful talks
has not been exhausted yet. “Armenia should know that we can solve the
problem by force any moment,” Aliyev said. He noted that Azerbaijan
is increasing its military budget every year and this tendency will
be maintained. “Expansion of the defense budget is the sovereign
right of each state. This is a natural process in a country whose
sovereignty was infringed and which experiences a military conflict,”
the Azerbaijani President stated.
