BAKU. March 16 (Interfax-Azerbaijan) – Azerbaijan could review its
participation in the Karabakh talks if Armenian occupation of Azeri
territories continues, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said.

Although a ceasefire has been observed for 12 years, talks on Armenia’s
position have been ineffective, Aliyev told the 2nd world congress
of Azeris in Baku on Thursday.

“What is to be done? Consultations are underway in Azerbaijan. If we
see that Armenia wants to upset peace and should it succeed in these
efforts, Azerbaijan will of course have to review its position on its
further participation in the peace process,” the Azeri president said.
