    BELARUS FOR SETTLEMENT OF ARMENIA-AZERBAIJAN, NAGORNY KARABAKH
    CONFLICT ON BASIS OF NORMS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
    [December 15, 2004, 21:38:48]

    This was stated at the meeting of Ministers of Defense of Azerbaijan
    and Belarus taken place on December 15 in Baku.

    Minister Safar Abiyev has emphasized that relations between
    Azerbaijan and Belarus continues since Soviet time, that though the
    history of bilateral cooperation in the field of defense is short, in
    this direction successful work is already conducted, and has
    expressed confidence that after present visit the cooperation will
    reach a new level. Informing the visitor about military-political
    situation in region of the South Caucasus, occupation of the
    Azerbaijan lands by Armenia, colonel-general Safar Abiyev has stated
    that despite of achievement in 1994 of ceasefire, there is no result
    in settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict. The reason consists
    that the Armenian state does not wish to refuse its aggressive
    policy. However, Azerbaijan will not concede spans of its lands.
    President Ilham Aliyev during his visit to London has resolutely
    stated that if the Armenian aggressors do not abandon the Azerbaijan
    lands, we shall release the occupied lands.

    He has noted rapid development of economy of Azerbaijan, active
    participation of the country in the international projects, readiness
    of Azerbaijan for cooperation with many states, including Belarus, in
    all areas.

    Minister of Defense of Belarus Leonid Maltsev has told: `We are ready
    to widespread cooperation, including in the field of defense with
    Azerbaijan on the basis of mutual interests of both states. For this
    purpose, the document concerning legal basis of the
    Belarus-Azerbaijan military cooperation will be signed.

    Having touched the question of settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan,
    Nagorny Karabakh conflict, the visitor has said that his country
    supports settlement of the problem on the basis of norms of
    international law.

    The sides also have carried out exchange of views on the various
    sides of military cooperation.
