The territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is recognized by the entire
world community, Ramiz Mehdiyev.

Today Armenia recognizes the need to settle the Karabakh conflict on
the basis of the principle of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan,
chief of the presidential administration of Azerbaijan Ramiz Mehdiyev
told the opening of the first Azerbaijani-Russian forum on humanitarian
cooperation.

"The territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is recognized by the entire
world community. Certainly, it must be restored", Mehdiyev said
reminding that the document signed within the framework of the OSCE
ministerial session in Athens at the end of 2009 says the same.

"For the first time during the conflict Armenia has joined such a
document recognizing that the problem settlement is possible in the
framework of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. The complex
period of contrasting the principles of the territorial integrity and
rights of nations for self-determination has thus ended", the chief
of the presidential administration said.

He stressed the need for a more objective coverage of this conflict
in Russian mass media. He said this issue demands high professionalism
from journalists.
