ArmInfo. "Baku will continue the policy of Armenia’s isolation until
it stops occupying Azeri lands", Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said,
Monday.

He stressed that the policy of total attack on Armenia will be
continued in diplomatic, political, economic, transport, military,
and other spheres "as long as our lands are still in occupation. No
cooperation with Armenia or no participation of Armenia in a regional
project is possible until the Karabakh conflict is settled. And
we’ll do our best to maintain the current situation and deepen
Armenians’ state in isolation for them to realize what their future
is connected with". Aliyev said that in order to quickly resolve the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict Azerbaijan was strengthening its army with
over $4.5bln invested in defense in the last five years. Azerbaijan
will continue spending big money of its army. Aliyev said that
despite certain progress there were no specific results in the
Nagorno-Karabakh peace process yet. He said that Baku was ready to
consider some promising proposals but the resolution of the problem
was being delayed.
