Azerbaijan is capable of liberating its occupied land and we shall
do this if the status quo remains unchanged, Azerbaijani Defence
Minister Safar Abiyev said at a meeting with the British ambassador
to Azerbaijan, Laurie Bristow.
The minister said that Armenia is an occupying state and all the
countries of the world should certainly acknowledge and confirm
this and put pressure on Armenia in order to liberate Azerbaijan's
occupied lands. Abiyev believes that if the conflict is not solved,
the Azerbaijani people will decide to solve it themselves.
British ambassador Laurie Bristow said that he had deeply learned
the essence of the conflict in two years of his diplomatic work
in Azerbaijan and is well aware of it. President Aliyev's direct
involvement in the Karabakh settlement is a rational move and
Azerbaijan is working successfully on the settlement of the conflict.
Britain supports President Ilham Aliyev's strategic policy of resolving
the conflict and considers that the problem should be solved in line
with international norms of law. A fair solution to the problem also
meets London's interests, end quote.
