Presidential Administration department head: Statements by
international organizations on Azerbaijan's territorial integrity are
already insufficient
Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 24 /Trend, T.Hajiyev/
Statements by international organizations on Azerbaijan's territorial
integrity are important, but insufficient, Azerbaijani Presidential
Administration Political Analysis and Information Provision Department
Head Elnur Aslanov told reporters on Friday
According to him, it's time to make real steps, to demonstrate
political will. International organizations must take concrete steps
to liberate Azerbaijani territories from occupation.
"Because of non-implementation of UN resolutions and decisions of
other international organizations, Azerbaijan might resort to other
options," said Aslanov.
According to him, today Azerbaijan is not only the most stable and
developed country from political and economic point of view, but also
today Azerbaijan is the most advanced country in the region from a
military point of view.
"Neighboring countries must always consider and realize that
Azerbaijan may resort to the various options in order to liberate its
lands," said Aslanov. According to him, despite that different
organizations call the conflict frozen, in fact, it refers to those
conflicts in which a ceasefire agreement has been reached.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
