Armenia is grossly violating international law and refusing to honor
four UN Security Council resolutions demanding withdrawal of Armenian
troops from Azeri territory, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said.
"As a result of an ethnic cleansing policy against Azerbaijan,
about 1 million of our citizens have become refugees. Armenia is
grossly violating all provisions of international law," Aliyev said
at a conference at the Azeri Defense Ministry dealing with military
development.
By dragging out negotiations, Armenia does not want to leave the
occupied territory, Aliyev said. Baku's commitment to a peaceful
resolution of the conflict for 20 years is a greatest compromise,
he said.
Azerbaijan's territorial integrity will never be a subject of
negotiations, he said.
"Azerbaijan's territorial integrity has never been and will never be a
subject for negotiations. Our position is based on international law,
historical justice, and real logic," he said.
Without the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, no other
problem in the region can be resolved, Aliyev said. "Nobody can ignore
our interests," he said.
Proposals by international mediators on settling the Nagorno- Karabakh
conflict could serve as a basis for concluding a peace accord with
Armenia, he said.
"If the proposals are not accepted [by Armenia], then the negotiating
process may be revised, and Azerbaijan will surely assume an
appropriate position in this situation," Aliyev said.
"The Armenian occupying forces must be withdrawn from all occupied
territories," he said.
Azerbaijan should be ready to liberate its land by force at any moment,
Aliyev said. "The war is not over, and only its first stage has been
finished, and we should make sure to be able to liberate our land by
military force at any moment," Aliyev said.
