"Azerbaijan will never agree to Nagorno Karabach’s sovereignty and
struggle for this region by all means, as well as in a military way,"
Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev said in his interview to "Ekho
Moskva" radio station, APA reports.
"This is our land, our territory," Ilham Aliyev stressed.
The president said Azerbaijan should strengthen its army and economy,
and increase its activity in the diplomatic front. Ilham Aliyev
also noted that Azerbaijan has become a more important country than
Armenia. The president said that Azerbaijan has offered different
models for Nagorno Karabakh.
"Here includes autonomy, self-government, and high status. An
independent state with 60 000 population is useless," the president
said.
