Azeri president vows to provide all conditions for ethnic Armenians to
live in Nagorno-Karabakh
BAKU. March 3
Azerbaijan will provide all the necessary conditions for Armenians to
live in Nagorno-Karabakh, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said.
"Azerbaijan, as a multiethnic state, will surely provide conditions
for and will help Armenians living there, and they will enjoy all
rights as citizens of the Azerbaijani state in the future," Aliyev
said in an interview with Turkish television channel TRT, whose
transcript was published in the official Azeri press on Saturday.
The ethnic Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh "will continue living
there as before," Aliyev said. "We have no objections to this," he
said.
If Armenia considers the modern-day realities and Azerbaijan's growing
political clout and economic might, takes the right steps, and leaves
the occupied territories, it will also help the ethnic Armenians
living in Nagorno-Karabakh, Aliyev said. "But if it does not realize
this and continues its predatory policy, then the consequences for
Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh could be very bitter," he said.
The Azeri armed forces can easily restore Azerbaijan's sovereignty in
Nagorno-Karabakh, but Azerbaijan does not want blood to be shed and
war resumed again, Aliyev said.
