The maintenance of the status quo in the situation surrounding the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict could be a reason for a new war in the
region, Azeri presidential spokesman Ali Hasanov said.
"Azerbaijan is trying to use the negotiating process as much as
possible so as not to resort to military actions. However, if the
status quo is not changed, Azerbaijan will definitely exercise
its right and will not make concessions to anyone," Hasanov told
journalists on Thursday.
The international community is applying all possible efforts
to keep Azerbaijan from starting war to resolve the problem of
Nagorno-Karabakh, Hasanov said. "However, the Azeri president has said
repeatedly that Azerbaijan's patience is not unlimited. Azerbaijan
cannot wait for the status quo in the conflict to be maintained
endlessly. Azerbaijan will use legal and other means to ensure its
territorial integrity," he said.
"Attempts are being made to keep Azerbaijan from applying other means.
Azerbaijan is not a militaristic state, and we do not claim anyone's
land. Azerbaijan's main goal is to protect its sovereignty, restore
its territorial integrity and its citizens' violated rights, and
establish peace in the region," he said.
