"Only in the years of independence, the Armenian terrorist organization
under the leadership of Armenian state structures carried out more
than 30 terrorist attacks against Azerbaijan, which killed more than
2,000 people"
Baku-APA. Azerbaijani President has addressed at the 4th Summit of
the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia
(CICA) held in Shanghai, APA reports.
Touching security issues in Asia Ilham Aliyev noted that safety
measures in Asia are part of global security. "We support a complex
approach to security. Issues such as the fight against terrorism,
regional, energy, transport and information security, settlement of
"frozen" conflicts are closely linked with each other and dictate
the need to demonstrate a common position for the security of mankind".
According to the President, Azerbaijan supports the consolidation of
efforts in the fight against international terrorism. "Azerbaijan
became a victim of terror. Only in the years of independence, the
Armenian terrorist organization under the leadership of Armenian
state structures carried out more than 30 terrorist attacks against
Azerbaijan, which killed more than 2,000 people," said President
Aliyev.
Ilham Aliyev said: "These terrorist acts are part of the aggressive
policy of Armenia against Azerbaijan. As a result of this policy,
20 percent of Azerbaijani territories - Nagorno Karabakh, which
is our historical land and surrounding 7 regions were occupied by
Armenia, in these areas a policy of ethnic cleansing was carried
out, more than 1 million people in the country have become refugees
and IDPs. In February 1992 Armenian armed forces committed genocide
against the civilians in Khojaly. As a result of this genocide 613
innocent people were killed. Today, over 10 countries have officially
recognized the Khojaly genocide.
The international community and international organizations recognize
the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and advocate for a righteous
settlement of the conflict in accordance with international law. There
are four UN Security Council resolutions related to the conflict
as well as the relevant decisions and resolutions were issued by
the Non-Aligned Movement, the OSCE, the European Parliament, the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, the Organization of
Islamic Cooperation and other international organizations. I also
thank the CICA Member States in support of the peaceful settlement
of the Armenian -Azerbaijani Nagorno Karabakh conflict on the basis
of norms and principles of international law.
There is still no progress at the talks held with the mediation of the
OSCE Minsk Group. Armenia is not interested in resolving the conflict.
Our strong position is that the conflict should be resolved only in
accordance with international law and within Azerbaijan's territorial
integrity".
