The recent tense developments in the South Caucasus once again show
that peace is very fragile in the region. Actually, peace has not
been established in region though ceasefire regime is available, said
President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in his speech in Turkish Grand
National Assembly. The President said: We can not say confidently
that the situation has already been stabilized. The greatest source
of threat in the South Caucasus and generally in region is the
Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. About 20 years
Azerbaijan`s territories have been under occupation.
We hope the new situation in the region will make all parties
dealing with the conflict`s settlement be more active. I am hopeful
that Armenia`s new leadership will accurately analyze the ongoing
processes in region and be ready to new realities. After that,
the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh can find its
solution, the President noted.
The Head of State stressed the dispute must be resolved through
stage-by-stage settlement plan, adding first of all, Azerbaijan`s
occupied territories must be freed from aggressors and Azerbaijani
citizens must return to their homes. If these issues are resolved,
Nagorno-Karabkh`s future status can be discussed, the President said.
President Ilham Aliyev also underlined the future status
of Nagorno-Karabakh must find its solution within Azerbaijan`s
territorial integrity.
