Azerbaijani President Ilkham Aliyev believes that the Karabakh
conflict "is creating huge obstacles to peace and stability in the
region."
Aliyev made this statement in Baku on Tuesday receiving Filip
Dimitrov, the special envoy of the OSCE chairman in office for
Azerbaijan and Armenia.
The president stressed the permanency of his country's stance on the
issue of the problem settlement.
"It should be settled based on the principles of inviolability of
borders and territorial integrity of states," said the Azerbaijani
president pointing out, "It will be impossible to settle the Karabakh
conflict with any other approach."
Ilkham Aliyev is positive that the problem settling will result in
the establishment of calm, security and acceleration of economic
development in the region.
The Azerbaijani president expressed regret that the activity of the
OSCE Minsk Group on Nagorno Karabakh that is performing mediator
functions in the conflict settlement has so far yielded no positive
results.
