Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev expressed his gratitude to Russian
authorities for their efforts aimed to bring closer the positions
of the parties in the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, APA
reports quoting RIA Novosti.
Azerbaijani President said in Moscow that he hoped the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict would be solved soon.
"I hope the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will be solved soon enough. Of
course, we are not pleased that there are no results, but we should not
close our eyes to the improvement in the process of negotiations. This
improvement increases our hopes that the conflict will be solved soon
enough. The positions of the parties have recently come closer, some
issues causing difficulty before have already been agreed. This creates
a good basis for the continuation of the negotiations," he said.
President Ilham Aliyev said there were issues that had not been agreed
by the sides.
"The efforts of official Baku are based on constructive approach,
international law and restoration of the historical justice. It is
no secret that Azerbaijani territories have been under occupation
for 20 years and this fact has been recognized by the international
community. We hope we will be able to move the process of settlement
forward, find solution meeting the interests of both nations, ensuring
restoration of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and international
norms and principles in the region. It will be to the advantage of
everybody and in this case we can speak about large-scale regional
cooperation in the South Caucasus," he said.
