Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be solved in the near future, the Deputy
Prime Minister of Azerbaijan, the Chairman of the State Committee
for Deals of Refugees and IDPs Ali Hasanov told journalists on Friday.
Deputy Prime Minister noted that August 31 is the day of occupation
of Azerbaijan's Gubadli district and added that in the near future
Azerbaijan will liberate its lands occupied by Armenia.
"We are very sorry that we come together only on the days of
occupation. We are fully confident that in the near future we will
also gather together on the day of victory under the leadership of
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. We believe that the time will
come when these lands will be liberated. We will surely meet with
Gubadli district's community in Gubadli - one of the most beautiful
places of Azerbaijan," Deputy Prime Minister said.
Hasanov went on to add that, this problem will be solved soon,
despite the fact that Armenia is delaying the problem's settlement
with an unconstructive position.
"Azerbaijani President was able in a short time to familiarize the
whole world with Azerbaijan and this country's people, he turned
Azerbaijan into a center of global interests, and the Head of State
will be able to solve this problem. We believe that besides this
problem, there are no serious problems in the country. Our only problem
is the problem of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
and it will be solved," Hasanov said.
The Deputy Prime Minister said that the President of Azerbaijan
Ilham Aliyev provided 1,200,000 refugees and internally displaced
persons (IDPs) with all required conditions and solved all their
social problems.
"During the last year, averagely $1,350 was spent on one IDP. Over
the last 20 years $5.4 million dollars were spent to this sphere,
and over 80 percent of these works have been carried out during Ilham
Aliyev's presidency years. The number of the settlements built for
the IDPs will reach 82, and some 180,000 people, or up to 35,000
families will be resettled till late 2013, and 91 percent of this
has been conducted in the last 10 years," Hasanov underscored.
Deputy Prime Minister added that Azerbaijani President will surely
achieve the liberation of the occupied lands.
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.
