Azerbaijan, Baku, 13 October /Trend News/ In spite of certain
advancements, there are no concrete results in the Armenian-Azerbaijani
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev,
said on 13 October at the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers,
dedicated to the results of the social and economic development of
the country over the last nine months.
We are prepared to analyze some encouraging proposals. The growing
possibilities of Azerbaijan even more strongly strengthen our position
in the negotiations, said the President. He said that the question
of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan does not cause doubts of
anybody, and Azerbaijan still needs negotiating.
Our policy is unchanged and unambiguous. The conflict must find its
solution only within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, stated
Ilham Aliyev.
The President noted that Azerbaijan strengthens its international
positions, plays a stabilizing role in the region, and makes a large
contribution to the strengthening of regional co-operation. Ilham
Aliyev said that since the country lives in the situation of war,
firstly it must strengthen its military potential. In the next
years, we will direct the largest part of budget expenditure on the
establishment of the army and increase in our military power, said
the Head of State.
