IF THE OPPOSITE SIDE SHOWS CONSTRUCTIVENESS, WE’LL BE ABLE TO SETTLE NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT, PRESIDENT ILHAM ALIYEV
If the opposite side shows constructiveness, we will be able to achieve settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev said during an official reception on the occasion of the Republic Day at the Gulustan Palace in Baku.
“The positive fact is that the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries, who directly deal with the dispute, and the world community accept the principle of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity and see the conflict’s resolution based only on these principles. We want to solve the issue on a legal basis, in accordance with international legal norms and based on political talks. We have beautiful opportunities to do so”, Mr. Aliyev said.
The President also said the four UN Security Council Resolutions, a Council of Europe resolution, European Union’s stance, the US Department of State’s last statement and GUAM’s resolution are the political, legal and diplomatic basis for the conflict’s resolution.
