PRESIDENT ILHAM ALIYEV: `WE WILL NEVER ALLOW NAGORNO-KARABAKH TO BE
SEPARATED FROM AZERBAIJAN'
[May 29, 2006, 22:24:54]
`Our lands are under occupation, and therefore, we, of course, demand
from Armenia first to leave the occupied territories on its own
accord.
Azerbaijan is getting stronger and stronger. We shall use all
opportunities - political, diplomatic, economic, transport and if
needed, the military opportunities. It is our right. Nobody needs
war. Who can wish bloodshed and people's death? But on the other
hand, if negotiations will remain ineffectual, what is our choice
then? We shall not have any choice. Therefore, the matter is already
taking a very serious turn. I `d like to repeat once again that the
latest visit to Azerbaijan by the Minsk Group co-chairmen, the visit
by high-ranking diplomats, the talks give hope for peaceful
settlement', said President llham Aliyev in a ceremony marking 28
May, Republic Day.
According to the President, as long as such opportunities are not
exhausted, Azerbaijan will use them.
`But we will never allow the second Armenian state to appear in the
Azerbaijani land, and will never allow Nagorno-Karabakh to be
separated from Azerbaijan', the President said.
