Colonel-general Safar Abiyev has noted: `Azerbaijan cooperates with
the Great Britain both in the frame of the NATO's `Individual
Partnership Program" , and in a bilateral format. We know that the

Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Azerbaijan gives great
value to expansion of cooperation with the Great Britain.
Having ascertained, that Azerbaijan makes efforts for the peace
resolution of conflict, the Minister said: `Armenia takes of a
destructive position, therefore, elimination of the problem is
delayed. Armenia does not carry out requirements of 4 Resolutions of
Security Council of the United Nations in connection with the given
conflict, and the world community does not exert to Armenia any
pressure for the quick withdrawal of its armies from the occupied
territories. Azerbaijan will never reconcile that its lands were
under the Armenian occupation. `Using all political, economic means,
including the military way, we shall release our lands', Abiyev

define the today's policy of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan has the right to
release its lands. At the same time, the Azerbaijan state should
carry out this policy in the balanced form. The given policy should
form harmonious economic, political development of Azerbaijan and, at
last, promote peaceful clearing of its lands. `My 3-years supervision
on Southern Caucasus allow come to such a conclusion, that the
Armenian society has undergone pressure of external forces'.
Safar Abiyev has emphasized: `We consider, that the present policy
pursued by the Armenian state will lead to its full breakdown. It is
impossible to forget history. It has been for thirteen years as the
Azerbaijani lands are under occupation of Armenia. But Armenia should
not forget, that present territory of the Armenian state is former
Azerbaijani land'.
The Ambassador, estimating military-political conditions on Southern
Caucasus, has noted: `Turkey is one of the leading states of NATO.
The economic base of Azerbaijan is strong and harmoniously develops
in all branches. In what position there will be Armenia in 10-15
years?'
Then, colonel-general Safar Abiyev and Mr. L. Bristow had
comprehensive exchange of views on present military-political
conditions on Southern Caucasus, historical roots of
Arm3enian-Turkish and Armenian-Azerbaijani conflicts. He has noted,
that delay of settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict represents greater threat for large economic projects
carried out in Azerbaijan.
Therefore, the European states participating in the mentioned
projects, including the Great Britain, should demand from the
Armenian state - the aggressor to refuse the claims and as soon as
possible to withdraw armies from the Azerbaijani territories.
The guest, having emphasized, that Azerbaijan is on a correct way in
the question of settlement of the conflict, has expressed confidence
that its just cause would shortly win. `Today, there is no factor
interfering economic development of Azerbaijan. Injustice concerning
Azerbaijan should be as soon as possible eliminated', he underlined.
Minister of Defense, having noted, that shares his views, has told:
`The European states should understand this, we together should put
for this effort.
The sides also focused developments of questions of the Azeri-British
military cooperation.
