ALIEV: `RESOURCES OF NEGOTIATING PROCESSES NOT USED UP’

The conflict of Nagorno Karabakh `can have peaceful solution’ and
Azerbaijan `somehow hopes’ it to be so, said the President of
Azerbaijan Ilham Aliev to Itar-Tass news agency.

`We think that the resources of the negotiating processes are not used
up and the principle argument is our approach proving our constructive
status,’ said the President and added that the negotiations with
Armenia are based on the declaration signed between Armenia and
Azerbaijan recently. According to that declaration, the problem should
be solved in the frames of international norms and principles, as well
as the decisions and documents adopted by the international
organizations.

`The declaration also stresses that the problems should be solved in
the frames of international guarantees. It should be solved part by
part. First Azerbaijani territories should be liberated, and the
refugees returned back to their native lands. And then the legal
status of Nagorno Karabakh should be defined,’ he said.

`Today Armenia has a new leader and we have some hopes that Armenia’s
position will be more constructive and realistic,’ said the President.
