President Ilham Aliyev does not rule out a military solution to the
Karabakh problem. On this, he once said, speaking at a meeting of
heads of the diplomatic service.
"We have never denied, and openly declared that the military option
is not excluded, since the pattern observed in the international
arena in recent months and years, suggests that international law,
unfortunately, does not work. The major role is played by the power
factor. The principle of "He is right who is stronger" dealt a big
blow to the construction of international relations," said Aliyev.
However, he believes that peaceful means of solving the problem are
not yet fully exhausted.
"With the political, economic and military pressure, we will strive
to ensure that the issue is resolved peacefully," said Aliyev.
"In Karabakh, all the historical monuments, place names, names of
towns and villages have Azerbaijani origin.
I believe that the activities of diplomats should be oriented in
this direction. As yet the world public does not know the truth about
Karabakh. The Armenian lobby is trying to distort the facts. We should
try to convey to the public the real facts, including the truth about
the Erivan khanate," said Aliyev.
At the same time, Aliyev noted the need to inform the world community
about the transfer of the Azerbaijani territory to Armenia in 1918.
Aliyev proposed MFA, together with the Academy of Sciences and the
Ministry of Culture to prepare a brochure about the history of the
Erivan khanate and publish them in different languages.
Aliyev noted the creation of a second Armenian state on the
Azerbaijani territory is categorically impossible. "Of course, the
Azerbaijani state will never allow this, and no country recognizes the
self-proclaimed "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic" as an independent entity.
Illegal referendums held there will not be recognized by the world
community. The issue will be resolved within the territorial integrity
of our country," said Aliyev.
However, he declared his readiness to grant Nagorno-Karabakh the
highest status of autonomy in Azerbaijan.
"The Armenian people can live in a high level of autonomy within
Azerbaijan. We proposed this, and this approach is based on the very
positive experience in Europe and the world," said Aliyev. -06B-
