    IF ARMENIA AND AZERBAIJAN COULD COME TO AGREEMENT ON KARABAKH
    CONFLICT THEY WOULD HAVE DONE IT LONG BEFORE

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan is viewing the Minsk Group as a single
    whole and would not like to draw a distinction between the
    Co-Chairs", Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated in his
    interview with Nezavisimaya Gazeta Russian newspaper. However Russia
    is the only chair-state bordering with Azerbaijan and is a power of
    our region. Surely, this circumstance increases her responsibility
    for the Karabakh conflict settlement, he stated. "We think that the
    activities of the Minsk Group should not proceed from the principle:
    "you will come to agreement and we will confirm". "If we could come
    to an agreement, we would have done it long before. The Minsk Group
    was formed because the conflicting parties could not arrive at an
    agreement themselves. That is why we hold the opinion that the MG
    activity should be directed at the asserting of principles and norms
    of the jus gentium according to which the territorial integrity of
    any state is inviolable. Azerbaijan did not violate the territorial
    integrity of any country while our own territorial integrity was
    violated. This fact was recorded in some document of the leading
    international institutions, in part, in the resolution by the Council
    of Europe", Azeri President said. In his words, official Baku sees
    the settlement of the conflict in thew following way: Azerbaijan's
    territorial integrity should be restored, Armenian forces should
    leave the Azeri territories, and the refugees should return their
    homes. Then peace will be established". According to him, this
    approach becomes more and more acceptable for the international
    community and the latest activation of the OSCE Minsk Group may be
    efficient.
