"We are now at the stage when the future of the negotiation process
depends on us. From this point of view, I generally assess the results
of our recent meeting," Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev said in an
interview to AzTV commenting on the meeting with Armenia's President
Robert Kocharyan in Minsk on November 28. "During our last meeting
very serious talks were held, we discussed disputable issues.
For the recent time, we have managed to settle a number of issues. We
managed to agree on previously uncoordinated issues, but there are
some principal questions, under which our opinions differ, we discussed
them as well," the Azerbaijani president noted.
At the same time, Ilham Aliyev said: "We are approaching the last
stage of talks on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement."
According to him, within the last three years the talks were held in
the frameworks of the Prague Process, and "during this time enough
meeting were held with participation of the presidents as well as of
foreign ministers, at which, of course, ways of settling the problem
were discussed." "For this period we have managed to overcome certain
stages and are close to the last stage of talks," the president said.
Speaking on Azerbaijan's position, Ilham Aliyev said: "We advocate
settlement of the problem observing the principle of Azerbaijan's
territorial integrity. UN resolutions should be implemented. The
Azerbaijani territories should be freed from the occupants
and more than 1,000,000 of our citizens should be returned to
their territories. We are satisfied with the recent activity of
international institutions. They stated their position to settle the
conflict observing the principle of territorial integrity. Of course,
it strengthens our position," APA quotes Aliyev as saying.
