Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan’s speech at the summit
of Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSECO) met a severe
reaction by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

Addressing the summit for the second time following the statement
"The only thing that Armenians want from Azerbaijan is to allow their
living and self-defense" by Oskanyan president Ilham Aliyev, "The
war has not yet ended. So there is no winner. Only the first stage
of the war is over. The current situation can not last long. We have
determined our decision: Karabakh has been occupied. This situation
can not be regarded fair in the 21st century. Armenia is to accept
this reality taking into account its existence in the 21st century.

The reality is that the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is not
topic of discussion. Armenians have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijani
territories. They should immediately withdraw from these territories,"
Azerbaijani president underscored.
