Baku. Lachin Sultanova -APA. "Armenian new government should realize
that there are three countries in the South Caucasus and no place
for the fourth state.

The status of Nagorno Karabakh will be determined only within
the framework of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity", said Khazar
Ibrahim voicing attitude to the statement of Armenian new foreign
minister Edward Nalbandyan, APA reports. He said it would be better
if Armenian leadership would inform the community about the real
situation than mislead it. Touching upon the Nalbandyan’s statement
about the increasing of Azerbaijani military budget, Khazar Ibrahim
said no country especially Armenia could interfere in the internal
affairs of Azerbaijan. "If they really want peaceful solution of the
conflict, they should withdraw their occupying forces from Azerbaijan’s
territory. Otherwise it will cut the diplomatic opportunities". Khazar
Ibrahim said Armenia was more militarized than Azerbaijan for its GDP
per capita and it showed that they had no willingness to abstain from
the occupying and aggressive policy.
