    BAKU CALLS FOR COMPLETE LIBERATION OF OCCUPIED TERRITORIES

    The return of seven occupied regions should be considered as only one
    stage of a complete restoration of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity.

    "Azerbaijan's position is clear. It calls for a complete liberation
    of its occupied territories," Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister and
    Deputy Chairman and Executive Secretary of the ruling New Azerbaijan
    Party, Ali Ahmadov said on July 9.

    Armenia occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally
    recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent
    regions, after laying territorial claims against its South Caucasus
    neighbor which led to a brutal war in the early 1990s.

    Ahmadov quoted the Azerbaijani president as saying that Azerbaijan's
    territorial integrity would never be a subject of discussion, adding
    that dealing with the problem is possible only within the framework
    Azerbaijan's territorial integrity.

    "I think that regardless of any kind of dealings with the problem,
    a full and final settlement of the conflict ensures the territorial
    integrity of Azerbaijan. The return of seven occupied regions should
    be considered as only one of the stages of restoring territorial
    integrity of the country," Ahmadov said.

    The precarious cease-fire between Azerbaijan and Armenia was made in
    1994 after a lengthy war that displaced over one million Azerbaijanis.

    The UN Security Council has adopted four resolutions urging Armenia
    to withdraw immediately from the Azerbaijani regions, but they have
    not been enforced to this day.

    Peace talks mediated by Russia, France and the U.S. have produced no
    results so far.
