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.'
