Attempts to resolve Karabakh issue "fruitless" - Aliyev
MINSK Nov 12
Azerbaijan will continue to seek justice and restoration of its
territorial integrity, said country's President Ilham Aliyev.
"The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was forced on us even before the
collapse of the Soviet Union. A war was launched against Azerbaijan,
ethnic cleansing began, and over a million of our citizens became
refugees, while about 20% of our territory is occupied. Azerbaijan's
cultural monuments, our cemeteries, other objects were either
destroyed or looted," Aliyev told the alumni of the Belarusian State
University in Minsk on Thursday.
Armenia is not complying with the United Nations resolution on the
withdrawal of its forces from Azerbaijan, he also said.
"All attempts to resolve the issue peacefully are fruitless," Aliyev said.
