Aliyev says his admin alone can get Nagorno-Karabakh back into Azerbaijan
BAKU. June 8
Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev has made assurances that his
administration alone is capable of achieving a solution to the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which has gone into its third decade.
"Among the tasks of the Yeni Azerbaycan [New Azerbaijan] party,
[seeking a solution to] the Armenian-Azeri Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
is, of course, the main task," Aliyev told a Yeni Azerbaycan congress.
He claimed that the country's people support his line on the conflict.
"The territorial integrity of Azerbaijan neither is nor will be up for
negotiations. Nagorno-Karabakh is a historic Azeri land. That's the
way it is today, and that's the way it will be tomorrow. Azerbaijan
will use any means to restore its sovereignty, its territorial
integrity," he said.
The president said the four UN Security Council resolutions on
Nagorno-Karabakh and international law are the only acceptable basis
for a settlement.
"No other options are under consideration or are acceptable. And I am
sure that we will solve this problem because our growing domestic
power and military potential and our economic development will
guarantee us victory," he said.
He claimed that Armenia is heading for a disaster because it is ruled
by a "criminal" government. He predicted that this alleged slide into
an abyss will be accelerating for as long as this government remains
at the helm.
"I am fully confident that this and, on the other hand, our growing
power guarantee that we will restore our territorial integrity. All
that is needed for this is time and an effective policy that is based
on national interests and involves no concessions or compromises. Our
administration alone can do this," he said.
"It alone can withstand all the pressures, threats and provocations.
In many cases, campaigns against us are based on this conflict, which
is being used to weaken and besmirch Azerbaijan and deal a blow to its
image in order to wrench concessions from us on the Nagorno-Karabakh
issue. This will not go ahead because we are pursuing a just cause,
and the people support our policy," Aliyev said.
