    President Aliyev: "Creation of two Armenian states can be a threat to Europe"

    23 September 2006 [13:16] - Today.Az

    Nagorno Karabakh conflict is a big obstacle to the development of the
    relations between Europe and South Caucasus, Azerbaijan's President
    Ilham Aliyev told Bertelsmann Forum 2006 in Berlin.

    "Europe should play decisive part in the settlement of the conflict
    and work for a peace accord in the region," President added.

    "Armenia is the only state in the world without national minorities
    and in this regard, creation of two Armenian states is impossible
    and not in line with international norms and principles and poses a
    threat to future Europe," he stated.

    Romanian President Traian Basescu supported the position of Azerbaijan
    and drew attention to the fact that defence of the rights of ethnic
    minorities must not violate the territorial integrity of a country.

    "Ideas not in accordance with European standards will not be
    effective. Every ethnic minority can't establish its own state. There
    exists an experience of authority; the conflicts have to be settled
    on these principles," he said.

    Azerbaijani President also answered questions on global energy,
    Azerbaijan's oil and gas policy, BTC and other projects, and
    international issues, APA informs.
