/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Nagorno Karabakh conflict must be resolved within
the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, President Ilham Aliyev said
during a government meeting.
"The essence of the talks is restoration of the territorial integrity
of Azerbaijan. We do not discuss any options outside this framework,"
he said.
Touching upon Karabakh’s future status, Aliyev said. "Determination
of status is impossible without consent of the Azerbaijani state."
"Azerbaijan will never grant Karabakh with any status beyond its
territorial integrity. Armenia and the OSCE Minsk Group know this
very well," he said, ITAR-TASS reports.
