Azerbaijani president hopes for solution on Nagorno-Karabakh through
negotiations
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict must be resolved, Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev said at a trilateral meeting of the Azerbaijani, Russian
and Armenian presidents in Sochi on Aug. 10.
"It has been protracted for a long time," President Aliyev said.
"This problem must be resolved," President Aliyev said while appealing
to the Russian counterpart. "It has been protracted for a long time. I
hope that your personal involvement in this process will give a new
impetus to the negotiation process. As you stressed, there is a format
of negotiations. There is also a legal basis for the conflict
settlement. The UN Security Council passed four resolutions requiring
immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the Armenian occupying
forces from the territory of Azerbaijan. Unfortunately, more than 20
years have passed but these resolutions remained on paper."
"Of course, I think that Russia, as our close friend, partner and
neighbor, has a special role in the settlement process," President
Aliyev said. "We hope that in the near future we will find a solution
through the negotiations in a peaceful way. And this solution will
meet the norms and principles of international law and will conform to
justice."
A trilateral meeting on the Nagorno-Karabakh with participation of
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Russian President Vladimir Putin
and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan was held in President Putin's
Sochi residence Bocharov Stream on August 10.
The bilateral meetings have been recently held among Russian President
Vladimir Putin, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The two countries 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 four U.N. Security Council resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
