Azerbaijan has hailed the latest statements from the Minsk Group,
an Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE)
body mediating the two-decade old Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but
reiterates that it will not contemplate the secession of the breakaway
Armenian-speaking enclave under any circumstances.
The Minsk Group has "issued quite serious statements to the effect
that the status quo is unacceptable," Azeri President Ilham Aliyev
said. "These statements give us even more inspiration."
"I'm sure that the earliest possible solution to this problem will
be in the interest of all countries," Aliyev said. "We hope that
negotiations will yield results because this situation is untenable.
The decisions and resolutions of international organizations must be
complied with unconditionally."
The president said Azerbaijan's rights to Nagorno-Karabakh are
recognized internationally and that "the territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan is not up for negotiations."
