ARMENIA’S NON-CONSTRUCTIVE STANCE DOES NOT ALLOW RESOLVING CONFLICT

AzerTag, Azerbaijan
June 25 2006

Speaking at the graduation ceremony at Heydar Aliyev high
military school President Ilham Aliyev said that resolution of the
Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is the number one
problem for Azerbaijan.

"Unfortunately, there is no progress in this sphere. Indeed, the
talks are going on; the talks are being held within some framework.

However, they are all not effective because we cannot achieve any
results" said President Ilham Aliyev in his speech.

According to the Head of State, Azerbaijan’s commitment to the
negotiations for over ten years demonstrates its constructivism.

Despite occupation of Azerbaijani lands and the fact that over 1
million Azerbaijan became refugees and IDPs because of the Armenia’s
policy of ethnic cleansing against Azerbaijan, our country is trying
to take advantage of all the available opportunities for peace.

Therefore, Azerbaijan’s stance in the negotiations is very
constructive. Unfortunately, Armenia’s non-constructive stance does
not allow us to resolve this conflict.

"I reiterate that we highly appraise the efforts of the international
community, their decisions including the activity of the OSCE
Minsk Group. Indeed, they try to secure an agreement. Armenia’s
non-constructive stance, disregard for the international legal norms
do not allow to settle the conflict. In this case, Azerbaijan should
make some corrections in its policy. Our patience is not endless,"
added the President.
