Azerbaijan, Baku, 22 September/TrendNews, corr I. Alizade/ Azerbaijan
will invest in Nagorno-Karabakh as its territory, Elnur Aslanov,
head of Political Analysis and Dataware Department of Presidential
Administration said to TrendNews.
In his interview his foreign journalists, Armenian president Serj
Sarkisyan commented on Azerbaijan's investing in Nagorno-Karabakh
in exchange for willingness of Armenian's in Karabakh to live in
composition of Azerbaijan's territory. "I suggested Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyev to invest in Nagorno-Karabakh in order to
demonstrate interest of Azerbaijanis in the well being of Karabakh
and its safe life. Armenians in Karabakh may wish to live in the
composition of Azerbaijan's territory after that," Sarkisyan said,
BBC reported.
The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began
in 1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since
1992, Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan including
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding districts. In
1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which
time the active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk
Group (Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding peaceful
negotiations.
"Nagorno-Karabakh is a constituent part of Azerbaijan which has
been occupied by Armenia. Naturally, Azerbaijan will invest
in Nagorno-Karabakh as it is Azerbaijan's territory, develop
infrastructure, build houses, schools, hospitals, restore all destroyed
facilities, to return IDPs to their native lands as soon as occupied
lands will be freed," head of department said.
At present, our aim is the triumph of justice and realization of
fundamental principles of international law, Aslanov said.
