Baku, Fineko/abc.az. A unanimous recommendation adopted today by
Federation Council and State Duma to Russian President on recognizing
Abkhazia and South Ossetia independent, is not recognized by Azerbaijan
as a precedent for recognizing the independence of Nagorno Karabakh
occupied by Armenia. Representatives of an occupation regime have
delivered the same speeches.
Press-Secretary of Ministry of Foreign Affairs Khazar Ibrahim said
Azerbaija is ready to continue negotiations with Armenia relating
Nagorno Karabakh problem.
"The international law is on our side, therefore Armenia has to release
Azerbaijani lands. We do not see Nagorno Karabakh outside Azerbaijan,"
K.Ibrahim said. Recently Turkey offered to solve the questions based
on Security and Cooperation Platform on Caucasus.
"Azerbaijan was always interested in peace-making, stability and
security in the region and contributed a lot to that. At the same time
we are ready to support all projects following that direction, but
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey has not sent us the Prime
Minister's details concerning the creation of so called Caucasian
Union," K.Ibrahim said.
At the same time Turkey says Armenia has no place in the Union,
but the observers expect Abdullah Gul to visit Yerevan soon.
"Official Baku considers the talks between Turkey and Armenia as
normal. Turkey stands on a principal position regarding Armenia to
release Azerbaijani lands and is not going to change it at all,"
K.Ibrahim said.
