Baku - APA. President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and Turkish Prime
Minister Receb Tayyib Erdogan held a joint press conference in Baku,
APA reports quoting CNN Turk.
Answering the question whether borders between the two countries
will be opened or not if Armenia accepts updated Madrid proposals,
President Aliyev said Azerbaijan had been searching peaceful way
during 16 years of fruitless negotiations since ceasefire was reached
in 1994. He said Azerbaijan accepted the updated Madrid proposals
with little exclusions and was expecting Armenia to accept it.
Despite 6 months have passed since the proposals was put forward,
Armenia has not given positive response, said Azerbaijani President
and added that Armenia intended to conduct endless negotiations in
this manner. The head of state said Azerbaijan wouldn't allow it. "The
negotiations must have certain frames and time limit. The Minks Group
was established in 1992. The negotiations are going on for almost 20
years. Armenia always broke off the negotiations when the solution was
approached. Unfortunately the same position is observed today. Armenia
will respond positively to the proposals of the OSCE Minsk Group and
we will approach the solution or the process will be broken and a
new stage will be started between Armenia and Azerbaijan. If Armenia
positively responds the proposals and starts to withdraw its invasion
troops from the Azerbaijani lands, Azerbaijan will open borders and
peace and security measures will be carried out in the region".
