The leader of the Azerbaijani community of the Nagorno-Karabakh says
there is no need for the community’s participation in the negotiations
process over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

"This is a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. A community can not
interfere in state affairs," Bayram Safarov told media.

"We can only deal with the issue of return to our native land."

"The ongoing negotiations on the conflict settlement should proceed
based on maintaining territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. The
Nagorno-Karabakh’s independence can not be a matter of debate,"
he said.

According to him, the settlement process can not last forever.

"If this problem can be solved peacefully, the negotiations must
continue. Otherwise, the land will be returned by the military way
and we are ready to fight," he added.
