Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has said that the present format
of peace talks with Armenia on Nagornyy Karabakh is Azerbaijan's big
diplomatic success, the Azerbaijani state TV channel AzTV reported
in a special coverage on 31 July.
"The talks and the Prague process are a positive approach as a whole
and I believe that it is the success of Azerbaijani diplomacy that
the talks are held within the framework of the Prague process,"
Aliyev told a Cabinet meeting to discuss the socioeconomic results
of the first six months of 2006.
The Prague process entails a stage-by-stage solution to the decade-long
Karabakh conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Aliyev also said that Azerbaijan would never agree to the secession
of Nagornyy Karabakh from Azerbaijan. The president added that the
country's military spending had reached 700m dollars and would continue
to rise, the state-owned broadcaster said.
