The Azerbaijani parliamentary first vice-speaker hopes for advance
in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement after the Azerbaijani
and Armenian presidents’ Moscow meeting.
"I expect advance from the presidents’ Moscow meeting," the first
vice-speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament, Ziyafat Asgarov told
journalists on July 13.
He said the meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents, Ilham
Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan will continue in future, as well. "I have
got familiarization with the last principles of the Madrid Declaration
only in media. I have not seen the paper. I am familiar with the
declaration signed by the Azerbaijani, Russian and Armenian presidents
in Moscow. The paper notes Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity is not
a topic for discussions. I have no doubts that the conflict will be
solved as part of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan," the first
vice-speaker said.
Asgarov believes peaceful resolution of the conflict meets the both
countries’ interests. "But if the problem is not solved as part of
Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, start of military operations can
be included in an agenda," he said.
