/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan is still interested in resolution of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict, said Ilham Aliyev, who officially assumed
the office of the Azerbaijani President today.

"We still have hope and we think that talks can lead to a fair
resolution of the conflict. Territorial integrity of Azerbaijan can’t
be questioned. Nagorno Karabakh will never be granted independence,"
he said.

"The international law is on our side. We are strengthening our
economic power and our positions in the region. Five years ago I
pledged to form a strong army. Now, with our military potential,
we will promote resolution of the Karabakh problem," Aliyev said,
ITAR-TASS reports.
