Armenian people have once self-determined and Azerbaijan will not
give such a chance to Armenia for the second time, said Novruz
Mamedov in the interview to Azerbaijani ATV channel, according to
Interfax-Azerbaijan.

"Azerbaijan in the framework of its territorial integrity always
confirmed readiness to grant any status to Nagorno Karabakh. We can
grant a wider status, but only in the framework of the sovereignty,
independence and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan", noted N.Mamedov.

He said Azerbaijan’s position bases on the practice, existing in
the world.

"Such cases have been recorded in most countries, including Russia. The
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan must not be violated. This is
not discussed at the moment, but when self-determination of nations
is implied, Armenians have once self-determined.

World will never recognize that Armenians can create the states
everywhere they reside. This will never be recognized by anyone and
Azerbaijan will never admit it", noted the representative of the
presidential administration.
