Unsettled Karabakh problem threatens whole region - Azeri president
BAKU. April 12
The unsettled Karabakh conflict is the main security threat to
Azerbaijan and the region as a whole, President Ilham Aliyev told
delegates to the first World Forum of MGIMO Alumni in Baku on Friday.
"The Karabakh conflict is the main threat to the security of
Azerbaijan and the region. The unsettled conflict has a negative
effect on all countries of the region," Aliyev said.
International legal norms indicate that Azeri territorial integrity
must be restored, he noted.
"Karabakh and adjoining lands must be returned to their rightful
owner," the president stressed.
Meanwhile, Armenia seeks to drag on the settlement process, he said.
"We are trying to spur on the negotiations, but the other side is
trying to drag out the process," Aliyev said.
It is impermissible to drag out the conflict settlement now and "it
will be simply impossible in the future," he emphasized.
