/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `The Armenian solution of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict is a dream,' President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev stated at a
meeting with students of Warsaw University in Poland. As PanARMENIAN.Net
got to know from own sources, Aliyev stated that `the only true option
of solving the problem in compliance with the international law is
that proposed by Azerbaijan.' `Armenians let Azeri refugees return to
Karabakh, Azerbaijan provides wide autonomy to Karabakh within the
borders of Azerbaijan, as well as security guarantees, which will
allow Karabakh to enhance the level of economy, and Armenia should
refuse the occupied territories,' Aliyev noted. `Armenia istrying to
build its own state at the expense of the others. What if Armenians
had tried to get the states, where they live - and there are many,' he
emphasized. As noted by Al iyev, `Nagorno Karabakh is a historical
Azeri land and has never been Armenian.' `Armenians were moved there
from Turkey and Iran in the 19-th century,' he added. To confirm his
words Aliyev cited the fact that the word `Karabakh' means nothing in
Armenian, while in Azerbaijani it `large garden.' As noted by the
Azeri President, when the issue of borders was decided after the
collapse of the Soviet Union, it was decided from the point of view of
history, and at that time 75% of Karabakh population were Armenians,
while 25% were Azerbaijanis. `After the collapse of the Soviet Union a
separatist movement appeared in Karabakh, which resulted in 1 million
refugees in Azerbaijan today and occupation of 20% of the territory by
Armenia,' he stated. At that Aliyev said he hoped for the Nagorno
Karabakh problem to be solved within the Council of Europe framework.
