President Ilham Aliyev has expressed his confidence that Azerbaijan
will soon mark its victory in a war with Armenia over its breakaway
region of Karabakh, private APA news agency has reported.
"I am sure that we will mark a victory day in the near future,"
President Ilham Aliyev was quoted as telling a ceremony to inaugurate
a monument to late Azerbaijani opera singer Bulbul, born in Susa,
Karabakh.
The president added that Azerbaijan's "strength and power grow year
by year, globally increases opportunities of influence and the support
of international community for Azerbaijan's just cause, and of course
our economic power draws the day of victory closer".
Aliyev stressed efforts of the international community aimed at a
peaceful solution to the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict.
"We also support this. However, at the same time, we are ready for any
option. We will never allow a second Armenian state be established
in the ancient Azerbaijani land and we will resolutely restore our
territorial integrity," the president said.
BBCM note: The Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers met in Paris
on 27 October to discuss a peaceful resolution to the Nagornyy Karabakh
conflict. This was the first meeting of the ministers following a
period of renewed tension between the two countries in August when
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev pardoned Azeri officer Ramil
Safarov convicted of hacking his Armenian room-mate to death during
a NATO language course in Hungary in 2004.
