`Nagorno-Karabakh is historical and ancestral land of Azerbaijan`
Baku, August 15 (AZERTAC). “Nagorno-Karabakh is historical and ancestral Azerbaijani land. This is Azerbaijani land also from a legal standpoint. Azerbaijan's territorial integrity is recognized around the world. Azerbaijanis territorial integrity, including Nagorno-Karabakh, must be restored,” President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at the iftar party on the occasion of the Ramadan
The Head of State pointed out Azerbaijan's territorial integrity has never been and never will be the subject of negotiations. He expressed confidence that Azerbaijan's territorial integrity would be restored. According to him, international law, political weight, economic potential, successful future and demographics are factors behind this confidence.
“The Armenian leadership should finally understand that there is a demographic factor, and this factor is already showing itself. I am sure that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be resolved. Early last year, a nine millionth citizen of Azerbaijan was born, and our population already exceeds 9,160,000 people,” the President said.
“Azerbaijan’s superiority in any area is beyond doubt. Under such circumstances it will be impossible to keep this conflict in a “frozen” state. It is encouraging that the statements by the heads of countries dealing with this issue and providing mediation clearly say that the status quo should be changed. The status quo is intolerable and must be changed. Most of all this is in the interests of the Azerbaijani side, because it is our ancestral land that is under occupation. We want the citizens of Azerbaijan to return to these lands soon and Azerbaijan's sovereignty to be restored,” he said.
