/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Azerbaijan is very strong and Armenia will lose
ground at its pressure. However, we do not want a war, as a large
number of people will die. I believe that we will return our lands
sooner or later. Let no one doubt it," Azeri President Ilham Aliyev
stated in an interview with the Hurriyet Turkish newspaper, published
September 2. "Each Azerbaijani fully believes that a day will come
when the occupied lands are liberated and the banner of Azerbaijan is
again flutter over Karabakh," I. Aliyev underscored, also commenting
on the outcomes of the Kazan meeting with Armenian President Robert
Kocharian. "There are no results yet. Armenian expect for us to
give them independence. However, this is not possible. Preserving the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is priority to us. I told Kocharian
we are ready to guarantee the security of the Armenian community
of Karabakh. I emphasized Baku will not allow the community to face
any danger," I. Aliyev said, adding, "However they [Armed Forces of
Armenia] do not wish to liberate our lands." Simultaneously I. Aliyev
noted that in the course of the latest telephone conversation US State
Secretary Condoleezza Rice stated Washington wishes for the parties
to come to a resolution of the conflict. "I do not understand why
Armenia being an invader country is not punished, though I understand
that the Armenian lobby is strong. The current situation is utterly
unfair," I. Aliyev said. He noted that he felt some mitigation of R.
Kocharian's position after that conversation, however it was not
sufficient to solve the problem. "We made all possible steps. However,
Armenia does not pay attention to the opinion of the international
community. Over 1 million of Azeri citizens are left without a roof
over their heads. The West is for soonest settlement. "We will do
everything possible to that end. Then we will sit down and think,"
I. Aliyev summed up, reported Trend Azeri agency.
