Kosovo is an internal one"

Azerbaijan does not support anyone in the issue of Kosovo’s
unilateral declaration of independence.
The due announcement was made by Khazar Ibragim, spokesman for
Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry, in an answer to reporters’ questions
regarding polarization of positions on the Kosovo issue between the
states.
`Azerbaijan’s position is based on its national interests. It shows
that Azerbaijan respects international law and understands its items
properly. Supporting somebody, or building policy in any direction is
out of question. Azerbaijan prefers its national interests,
Azerbaijan is an independent and a self-reliant state and will always
act in line with its interests and international law,’ he said.
Commenting on the deployment of forces in Kosovo by some
international organizations, Khazar Ibrahim said if the international
organizations – European Union and others pass decision on deploying
any forces in Kosovo, this process should be in the framework of
relevant international documents.
`Unlike the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Kosovo is not a conflict
between states. Nagorno Karabakh conflict has been recognized as
Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict by the international community and
Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents participate in the talks called
the Prague process for the peaceful settlement of the conflict,’ he
said.
