as international community recognizes it

Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev also reaffirmed that territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan is not a subject for discussion in the
settlement process of Nagorno Karabakh conflict as the international
community recognizes the territorial wholeness of Azerbaijan,

Commenting on Armenian FM Vardan Oskanyan’s statement `Azerbaijan’s
territorial integrity is not a subject for discussion’, Elmar
Mammadyarov said Nagorno Karabakh conflict can only be settled on the
basis of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
`That’s why Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity is not a subject
matter for discussion in this process,’ underlined Azerbaijani
Foreign Minister.
Mr. Mammadyarov said the OSCE MG co-chairs informed Miguel Angel
Moratinos, Foreign Minister of new OSCE-chair Spain, of the ongoing
negotiations on the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
He said the new OSCE Chairman-in-Office will pay a visit to
Azerbaijan next year.
