BAKU (APA)-Azeri President Ilham Aliyev, in remarks Tuesday to the
World Azerbaijani Congress, claimed that Yerevan and Zangezur were
Azeri lands that were "granted" to Armenia, adding that Azerbaijan
would spare no effort, including military, to ensure what he called
its territorial integrity.
"Armenia knows very well that they are guests in Nagorno-Karabakh. The
Armenian state was established in historical Azerbaijani land -
Yerevan and Zangazur. The Turkic world was geographically separated,
as Zangazur was given to Armenia," said Aliyev while pledging to
continue the talks.
Aliyev added that ensuring Azerbaijan's territorial integrity is one
of the major issues facing the country.
In his speech he noted that international organizations had passed
resolutions on the Karabakh problem, which remained unfulfilled
because of what he described as Armenia's "unconstructive position".
"Yerevan has to understand that Azerbaijan's potential cannot be
compared with Armenia's capability. Azerbaijan's economic potential is
ten times greater than Armenia's economic potential. Armenia has no
power to compete with Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan's military expenditure
is 50 percent more than Armenia's budget," the president said,
echoing remarks made in his speech at a military parade on June 26,
Armed Forces Day.
