Azerbaijan, Baku, 7 February / Òrend corr S. Ilhamgizi / If Armenia
does not fulfil the recommendations of international community to
vacate the Azerbaijani lands, Azerbaijan will have to use its military
force, Ali Ahmadov, the Executive Secretary and the Deputy Chairman
of the governing New Azerbaijan Party (NAP), said to the journalist
on 7 February.
According to Ahmadov, peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict is the best way, but if the peaceful negotiations are
fruitless, Azerbaijan will have right to resort to any means to
liberate its lands from occupation. International organizations cannot
deprive Azerbaijan of this right.
"Azerbaijan supports the peaceful settlement of the conflict.
However, if the peaceful settlement is impossible, Azerbaijan will have
to resort to the single way to set its territory free," Ahmadov said.
"International organizations should do more than just making
recommendations. Stability in the region and solutions to the
conflicts requires the exact steps, which would make Armenia vacate
the Azerbaijani occupied territory," he said.
The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began in
1988 due to the Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since
1992, the Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven neighbouring
districts. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire
agreement which ended the active hostilities. The Co-Chairs of the
OSCE Minsk Group ( Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding
the peaceful negotiations.
