    UK SHOWS INTEREST IN REGULATION NAGORNO-GARABAGH CONFLICT

    Ïðaâî Âûaîða, Azerbaijan
    Democratic Azerbaijan
    Sept 4 2006

    September 1, colonel-general, Safar Abiyev, met with Ambassador of the
    United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to Azerbaijan,
    Mr. Laurie Bristow.

    Speaking of the purpose of the meeting, Ambassador, Laurie Bristow,
    stressed: After visit of Duke of York, Prince Andrew, to Azerbaijan,
    interest of UK to Azerbaijan increased. He stressed that regulation
    of Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Garabagh conflict is the most crucial
    issue for Azerbaijan. We hope this conflict will be regulated very
    soon. UK shows interest in solving this problem.

    Colonel-general, Safar Abiyev, said: Azerbaijan cooperates with UK
    both within the frames of NATO "Individual Partnership" program and
    bilateral scope. We know that UK also shows interest in regulation of
    Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Garabagh conflict. Azerbaijan attaches
    great interest to enlargement of cooperation with UK. Having said
    that Azerbaijan makes efforts for peaceful regulation of the conflict,
    minister said: Armenia takes destructive position that is why solving
    of the problem delays. Armenia ignores requirements of 4 UN Security
    Council resolutions in connection with the conflict in question,
    and world community makes no pressure on Armenia for withdrawal of
    Armenian military forces from occupied territories.

    Azerbaijan will never put up with the fact that its territories are
    occupied by Armenia. With the use of all political, economic means
    including military ones we'll liberate our territories.

    Ambassador, L. Bristow, underlined: We understand very well what
    factors define current policy of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan has the
    right to liberate its territories. At the same time Azerbaijan state
    should pursue this policy in balanced form. Such policy should provide
    harmonious economic, politic development of Azerbaijan, and at last,
    promote peaceful liberation of its territories. He said: "My 3 year
    old observations in South Caucasus allow me to conclude that outside
    forces affected Armenian society".

    Safar Abiyev stressed: We hold that policy pursued by Armenia today
    will lead to complete failure. We shouldn't forget the history. 13
    years have passed since occupation of Azerbaijani territories on the
    part of Armenia. However, Armenia shouldn't forget that territory of
    Armenia is former Azerbaijani territory. Let Armenians not set their
    policy against themselves.

    Evaluating military-political situation in South Caucasus, Ambassador
    underlined: Turkey is one of NATO leading states. Economic base of
    Azerbaijan is sustainable and it harmoniously develops in all fields.

    What situation will reign in Armenia in 10-15 years?

    Colonel-general, Safar Abiyev, and L. Bristow exchanged views
    concerning present military and political situation in South
    Caucasus, historical roots of Armenia-Turkey and Armenia-Azerbaijan
    conflicts. He underlined that non-regulation of Armenia-Azerbaijan
    conflict jeopardizes economic projects in Azerbaijan. Therefore,
    European states participating in the above projects, including UK,
    should demand from Armenia, country - aggressor, to give up its claims
    and withdraw its military forces from Azerbaijani territories as soon
    as possible.

    Having said that Azerbaijan is on the right way related to conflict
    regulation, guest declared that our truth would win: "There is no
    factor preventing economic development of Azerbaijan. Unjust to
    Azerbaijan should be removed".

    Having pointed out that he shared Ambassador's view point Minister
    of Defense said: all European states should understand it, and we
    should make joint efforts in this direction.

    After meeting both parties touched upon development of
    Azerbaijan-British military cooperation.
