Baku will continue the policy of isolating Armenia, until the latter
stops occupation of Azerbaijani lands, said President of Azerbaijan
Ilham Aliyev at an expanded session of the government by results of the
socioeconomic development of the country within nine months of 2008.
"Until our lands are under occupation, we will continue the policy
of total attack against Armenia both in the diplomatic sphere and
in the political, economic, transport, military and other spheres",
said Aliyev.
"Any cooperation with Armenia and their participation in any regional
project is impossible until the Karabakh conflict is settled. We will
spare no efforts for the further isolation of Armenians for them to
realize what their future depends on", said the head of the state.
According to Aliyev, Azerbaijan is fortifying its army for the soonest
resolution of the Karabakh conflict and $4.5 bln has been invested
into the defense sector of the country through the past five years.
