Azerbaijan is extremely concerned over the conflicting situation in the
South Caucasus and anticipates the assistance of the European Union,
Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov declared at a press
conference in Brussels, "Trend" reports.
"There should be a solution that will establish peaceful co-existence
between Armenia and Azerbaijan with consideration of the territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan. The guarantees will be provided by the
international community, including the European Union. Azerbaijan is
ready to contribute," said Azimov.
"There is no war solution to the conflict. But probably Azerbaijan
will continue to stand of the principled position. Any territorial
secession will not be accepted. That should be clearly explained
to the Armenian side. I hope there is pluralism in Armenia about
solutions of the conflict and I hope the majority there will speak
in favour of settlement on the basis of principles," Azimov said.
