AZERI LEADER HOPES PEACE TALKS TO RESOLVE NK CONFLICT
Lider TV, Baku,
2 Oct 06
[Presenter] We reported earlier that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev
has touched upon the resolution of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict
between Armenia and Azerbaijan during his speech in the Milli Maclis
[parliament]. Now we present you with a brief report on this.
[Aliyev] We are not thinking of giving up the format of the OSCE
Minsk Group [which mediates between the two countries in the Karabakh
peace process]. At the same time, we think that other organizations'
participation may help resolve the issue too. True, Armenia is trying
to use the discussion of the issue at the UN as a ground to break the
[Karabakh peace] talks. However, this is their own business. They
may break the talks. If they are looking for a pretext, it is not
to difficult to find that pretext. Azerbaijan acts in a constructive
way, is involved in the talks and hopes the issue can be resolved as
a result of the talks.
[The president was speaking at the autumn session of the Azerbaijani
parliament which started on 2 October]
