The Karabakh conflict settlement is only possible on the basis of
territorial integrity, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said during
the opening of II World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue, which is
underway in Baku under the slogan "Living Together Peacefully in a
Diverse World".
He thinks that the settlement of the conflict will bring peace to the
region. Aliyev said that Azerbaijan should restore its "territorial
integrity".
He said that Azerbaijan has allegedly faced a humanitarian catastrophe
for 20 years. The official website of the Azeri President quotes
Aliyev as saying: "For 20 years, the internationally recognized
ancestral lands of Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding
seven districts have been under Armenian occupation.
This occupation continues. Azerbaijanis have been subjected to a
policy of ethnic cleansing. All the Azerbaijanis have been driven
out of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding districts.
The Armenians have destroyed our cultural monuments. True,
international organizations, the world's leading international
organizations have passed many decisions and resolutions on the
Armenian- Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. But, unfortunately,
there is no mechanism for enforcing these decisions and resolutions.
This leads to reducing respect, lost of faith in the decisions of
these international organizations.
Twenty years ago the UN Security Council passed four resolutions on
an unconditional withdrawal of the Armenian forces from the occupied
Azerbaijani lands. None of them has been executed. All the other
reputable international organizations, such as the Council of Europe,
the European Parliament, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation,
NATO, etc., have also adopted similar resolutions. Azerbaijan's
territorial integrity is recognized by the international community".
