    Unpacific statement of Azerbaijani President

    13:15 / 11/21/2009On the threshold of the meeting with RA President
    Serzh Sargsyan on Karabakh conflict settlement, Azerbaijani President
    Ilham Aliyev made a regular warlike statement.

    Speaking at the opening ceremony of a new settlement for refuges, near
    Veyisli village, Aliyev newly voiced doubt about effectiveness of
    negotiation process, OSCE Minsk Group efforts in conflict resolution,
    as well as UN Security Council activities.

    `UN Security Council adopted 4 resolutions. There is no structure
    above it around the globe. But if its decisions are not carried out,
    it means either Council's influence is depreciated, or the norms of
    international law do not work. If that is the case, everyone should
    know what to do. If international law does not work, then we should
    know where we stand. We just want to do it by means of negotiations,
    diplomatically. On the other hand, it is not right to be tolerant of
    the current situation. If Armenia considers that we will permanently
    hold the talks, it is a fallacy. We do it as log as hope that the
    issue will be settled and up to the moment till we hope for success.
    But if we see that Armenian side is merely protracting the process and
    wishes to &`perpetuate' the issue, the talks will break off,' Aliyev
    stated.

    Commenting on the upcoming meeting with RA President, Aliyev
    underlined that recent meetings `were unproductive', blaming on
    Armenian side as usual, that according to him demonstrated `absolutely
    deconstructive position.' However this time, Azerbaijani President
    emphasized, this will be a `decisive meeting': `We go to the meeting
    having our program. The meeting should play a pivotal role in the
    negotiation process. If it yields no result, our hope for talks will
    end.' In this case, Aliyev did not rule out the possibility that
    Azerbaijan will prefer military showdown, if loses hope for diplomatic
    solution. `If the hope for talks comes to an end, we will have no
    choice. We should be ready to this too,' Aliyev said, outlining that
    the country `is justified in liberating its territories by coercive
    methods.'

    Aliyev said the reason for Armenia's `deconstructive position' is the
    intensification of Armenian-Turkish diplomatic relations through
    negotiations. However, Azerbaijani leader expressed confidence that
    Armenian-Turkish border will not open: `The current developments prove
    it will not happen. Both Azerbaijan's set-foot stance and that of
    Turkish society, statements by Turkish authorities, their pledges
    given to us ` all this proves that Armenian-Turkish relations cannot
    be normalized without Karabakh conflict settlement.'

    At that, he underlined that `Azerbaijan will never agree to
    Nagorno-Karabakh independence.'
