    Azeri pres believes Karabakh conflict hampers peace in region

    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.
