Baku. Ramil Mammadli - APA. "The current status-quo in the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict can lead to the war.
The international community is trying to assure Azerbaijan to avoid
the war for solution of the Nagorno Karabakh problem. But Azerbaijani
President stated many times that Azerbaijani people's patience has
its limits", chief of the public policy department of the Presidential
Administration of Azerbaijan Ali Hasanov said, APA reports.
He said Azerbaijan couldn't wait for endless continuation of the
status-quo and would use all its rights and ways to restore its
territorial integrity. "Therefore the international community, OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairs insistently demand to change the status-quo,
consider it unacceptable to save the status-quo and try to assure
Azerbaijan to avoid other ways until the status-quo is changed.
Azerbaijan is not a militarist state and has no views on somebody's
lands. Our main goal is to protect and ensure our state sovereignty,
to restore territorial integrity and violated rights of the citizens
and to establish peace in the region. Therefore Azerbaijan is trying
to use the negotiation process and to reach the peacemaking process
without using the military way. Otherwise Azerbaijan has the right
to liberate its territories from the occupation by other means".
Ali Hasanov said Azerbaijan is not going to compromise these rights.
The department chief said one of the two major principles of the
fundamental law was depicted in the UN Charter after the World War II.
"This is the principle of territorial integrity and inviolability of
the territorial integrity. Only with the permission of the state the
territorial integrity can be changed, annexed to the territory of
another state or independence can be given to the people living there.
This principle is one of the major norms of the international
law. The second principle was added to the international law later,
especially after OSCE was established. This is the people's right to
self-determination. It is not written here that the people's right
to self-determination will result in the violation of the states'
territorial integrity," he said.
Ali Hasanov said the rights of various peoples can be ensured within
the framework of the states' territorial integrity.
"There are examples. Peoples and nations get national autonomy within
the framework of the determination of their rights. Within this
autonomy they form their right to life, including their life style.
The state as a geopolitical author, subject of the international
law is a model having no alternative yet. Basing on this model
we unambiguously put forward and support the principle of the
inviolability of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity.
Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict will be solved basing on this right,"
he said.
