“I am sure that Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict will be resolved on base
of norms and principles of international law,” told the Azerbaijani
president Ilham Aliyev in his interview to a American television NBC,
Trend reports.
Touching up on the period of the solution of the conflict, the
president noted that it was difficult to speak about a fast solution
of the problem because it doesn’t depend on
Azerbaijan only. “The territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is
recognized by all countries around the world and interbnational
organizations. The United Nations Security Council has adopted four
resolutions on unconditional release of Azerbaijani territories
occupied by Armenian troops. The Council of Europe, the Organization
of Islamic Conference, GUAM and other international organizations have
accepted the resolutions requiring the restoration of the territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan and withdrawal of Armenian troops. All these
are base for the solution of the conflict,” told president.
“We will never agreed with the separation of Nagorno-Karabakh from
Azerbaijan or its independence,” added Aliyev. “We can provide
Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh with the autonomy status,
including security and certain elements of self-government. However,
this can happen only within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan,”
told Aliyev.
