Creating an Armenian state in the territory of Azerbaijan is ridiculous
and Azerbaijan will not allow it, the Vice Speaker of Milli Majlis
[Azerbaijani Parliament], Head of the Azerbaijani delegation to the
NATO Parliamentary Assembly, Ziyafet Askerov, briefed the media,
Trend reports.
"NATO brings together 26 countries and most of them recognize the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Despite that NATO Secretary,
General Yap De Khup Scheffer, who did not participate in the
52nd autumn session but contributed via telephone conference from
Brussels. He and representatives of other countries explicitly stated
in their speeches that changing the borders would be disastrous. If
an ethnical society announces its independency in the territory of
another country, what would this cause? The Armenians residing in
Nagorno-Karabakh insist that they exercise the right to define their
destiny through the support from Armenia. But Armenians have already
defined their destiny and created their state. Creating an Armenian
state in the territory of Azerbaijan is totally unacceptable,"
Askerov underlined.
