'Azerbaijan could solve problems if it deals only with Upper Garabagh' - President
Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
Nov 23 2004
Baku, November 22, AssA-Irada -- Azerbaijan supports adoption of
a new United Nations resolution on the Upper Garabagh conflict,
President Aliyev told journalists on Monday.
"We do not intend to confine ourselves to discussions at the UN and
want a new resolution to be passed."
The wording of a resolution that Azerbaijan insisted on during the
discussions at the UN session is ready, the President said.
The Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan is engaged in intense consultations
on the issue and talks with some countries. It is for this reason that
Armenia is trying to impede adoption of the resolution by all means,
he said.
Aliyev pointed out that such statements by Armenia as "if the
resolution is passed, Azerbaijan will have to negotiate with Upper
Garabagh" are laughable.
"Azerbaijan could solve problems differently if it negotiates only
with Upper Garabagh", Aliyev said.
"If Azerbaijan deals only with Upper Garabagh, it could solve problems
differently and faster. If Armenia wants the negotiations to be held
with Upper Garabagh, it must abandon the issue, withdraw its forces
from the occupied lands and stop financing Upper Garabagh from its
budget."
