reassuring", APA reports. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said at
a joint press briefing with EU President Herman van Rompuy in Brussels.
He thanked the EU for its support of the OSCE Minsk Group on
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. "The recent statements made by the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairs and leaders of co-chair countries on the
principles of conflict resolution are encouraging.
The statements made by the leaders of the Minsk Group that the status
quo is not acceptable, it should be changed, and that the conflict
should be resolved on the basis of the principles of the Helsinki
Final Act, which combine the principle of territorial integrity as

the Armenian side a constructive approach in the negotiations. We
want the solution of the conflict has been found as soon as possible
that will allow hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis to return home
after our lands will be liberated from occupation", - Azerbaijani
