ANS TV, Baku
10 Feb 05
[Presenter] Azerbaijani Speaker Murtuz Alasgarov has described as
rubbish a statement by the deputy speaker of the Russian State Duma,
Vladimir Zhirinovskiy, on Nagornyy Karabakh's incorporation into
the CIS.
[Alasgarov, speaking to microphone] He does not understand that the
CIS is not a state but an international organization. It is the
international organization that unite states. The territory of a
sovereign state cannot be incorporated into the CIS. He simply does
not understand this.
[Correspondent] Is Azerbaijan going to take a step in this regard?
[Alasgarov] I think, the Foreign Ministry should issue a statement.
