Fuzuli. Elbrus Seyfullayev-APA. "The biggest problem is that Nagrono
Karabakh conflict remains unresolved. Solution of the conflict does
not depend on our activity for the present. We are trying to solve
the conflict peacefully so far.
Both international organizations and Armenia say they want to solve
the problem peacefully, but they have occupied this land by military
way and foreign support, but not peacefully. Now they suggest us
to solve the problem by peaceful means", said President Ilham Aliyev
addressing displaced persons in Fuzuli, APA reports. The President said
ceasefire regime had been continuing for 14 years, but no results had
been reached yet. "Any progress in the negotiation process does not
mean the solution of the conflict. Till when we should suffer from
injustice? We take part in the negotiations, because we hope for
the peaceful solution. All should know that negotiations cannot be
endless. Every people have a limitation of own patience. The opposite
side and international organizations should know that this process
cannot be continued so. We are holding negotiations and at the same
time doing work, strengthening our army and economy".
The President said possibility of prospects of the negotiation
process would be clarified in the near future. "We want to know,
will Armenia continue its non-constructive position? I would like to
hope that international mediators and Armenian side will realize that
occupation policy has no future. This conflict should be resolved
within the international law. The world has accepted the fairness
of Azerbaijan. UN recent resolution has showed that". The President
reminded about the voting of world leading countries - OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairs against the resolution. The President of Azerbaijan
has seriously criticized this action of mediators. "Nevertheless
as mediators, they could be even tough abstained. Despite that our
influence and diplomatic efforts arrange the victory. The fact is that
international organizations like UN, European Union, Council of Europe,
NATO and Organization of Islamic Conference have repeatedly stated
about their recognition of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, but
the issue remains unresolved. All know that we are right, but Armenia
ignores that and does not recognize international law. As if Armenians
agree with the peace variant approved by the co-chairs, but at the
same time they continue to settle illegally in Lachin. Package on the
table of negotiations envisages the liberation of occupied territories
of Azerbaijan. Five regions will immediately be liberated and Lachin
and Kalbajar will be returned to Azerbaijan in a short time, if the
peace agreement is signed. If they are sincere in the negotiations,
why they called international organizations for the development of
Lachin? It shows that they are insincere. They continue to mislead
the international community". Unfortunately as if mediators are
continuing to believe this lies. I am sure that they are informed
about the region and know that Armenia is insincere and prolonging
the negotiation process".
The President criticized indifferent attitude of international
community towards the recent events in Armenia.
Why do the countries protecting democracy blink the facts on severe
cruelty against civilians in Armenia?
Azerbaijani delegation to the Council of Europe proves that 28 people,
not 7 have been killed in this country by criminal regime. Foreign
presses have not given information and no TV program has aired on it",
he said.
The President stated that the issue on Azerbaijan had broadly been
discussed by foreign press.
"All political activity has been stopped in Armenia and state of
emergency has been declared. Tens of innocent people have been
killed and arms and bombs have been used against people. Hundreds
of political rivals of this regime have been arrested. Presidential
candidate was kept at home, all internets were closed, all channels,
which do not reflect the state's policy were closed. The world has
not given reaction to it. They see immediately few shortcomings in
Azerbaijan. How long will we bear for it? This shows that there is
discrimination on the approach to region countries. We refuse it. We
will not accept unjust decisions against us. We follow all the ongoing
process in the South Caucasus. Approach on Azerbaijan is unjust because
of various reasons. One of these reasons is that Azerbaijan pursues
independent policy. They want to influence to Azerbaijan. We will
not fall under somebody's influence. Who helped when Azerbaijan's
territories had been occupied by Armenians? Did somebody defend us,
when Armenians committed Khojali Genocide? We do not need anybody's
advice. We have established this country ourselves. We should be
strong. We will not avoid our principles on the settlement of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict, irrespective of all pressures and statements. We
are called to settle for a compromise. Why should we agree to
compromise? Should we give independence to Nagorno Karabakh? We are
demanded it. Several politicians of the world claim that Azerbaijan
and Armenia are sinners for the occurrence of this situation. What
is your blame? What is our blame? Is it our blame that Armenians have
driven us out from our lands? Why the countries, which solved several
issues of the world, do not solve this issue? We say our words openly
at present. We announce that this conflict will be solved within the
framework of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity!" he said.
