Azerbaijan will take more drastic measures toward Armenia, if
necessary, head of Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Social
and Political Department Ali Hasanov told the media today.
Hasanov was answering the question about Baku's planned actions in
response to Armenia's threats to shoot down the aircrafts, flying to
Azerbaijan, from the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.
"Today the Azerbaijani government is taking all necessary measures
in this regard and conducts the necessary work," he said.
Hasanov underscored that the separatist regime is being supported
today by Armenia and its leadership.
"Restoring the former Khojaly airport, organizing the flights by the
separatist regime, receiving and sending aircrafts in Azerbaijan's
sovereign territory are illegal without the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh issue and Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict," he said.
"This is contrary to the international laws and all aspects of
inter-state relations," he said. "Therefore, Azerbaijan will take
the necessary measures. We think that we will be able to stop this."
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. -
are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
