Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev called the Karabakh conflict the
most painful problem of Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani president made such
statement during an official reception on occasion of the Republic Day.
He welcomed the statement by the Presidents of the USA, France and
Russia on the Karabakh settlement, adopted at the summit of the Great
Eight in France. He described the position of international mediators
in recent times "encouraging".
"The latest statement by the Presidents of the USA, France and Russia
supported the position that the issue should be resolved soon on
the basis of the Helsinki Final Act," he added. There are not any
contradictions in the Helsinki Final Act between the principles of
territorial integrity and national self-determination. On the contrary,
it contains the priorities of the principles, the right of people
for self-determination must not violate the territorial integrity of
countries and it is the unique formula for resolving the conflict,
said Aliyev.
He noted again that the conflict can be resolved only within the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, and the Azerbaijani state would
never allow granting independence to Nagorno- Karabakh.
As for Armenia, he said, Azerbaijan will further exert efforts to
isolate Armenia from all regional projects. "We do not conceal it. It
is our policy. Armenia has occupied our lands. This policy will
be continued until the occupation ends. In case of a peace treaty,
Armenia may be involved into region projects, it will depend on their
steps," Aliyev said.
At the summit held in Deauville , the presidents of the USA, Russia and
France called on the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to demonstrate
the political will and to finalize the basic principles for resolving
the Nagorno- Karabakh in the upcoming Armenian-Azerbaijani summit
in June. "Delay will only make doubtful of the parties to reach
agreements," reads the statement the three presidents of the countries
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group.
"The latest version of the Fundamental Principles, which was discussed
in Sochi on March 5, provides a fair and balanced basis for the
preparation of a comprehensive peace settlement," - the statements
