Baku advocates a peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict, but
if Armenia continues dragging the settlement out, Azerbaijan will
be compelled to liberate the occupied territory with military force,
Azerbaijan's first deputy parliamentary speaker Ziyafet Askerov said.
"If Armenia indefinitely drags out the peaceful settlement of the
problem of Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijan will have to liberate its
occupied territory, using military force," Askerov said.
Askerov was speaking to British House of Lords member, John Desmond
Forbes Anderson Waverly in Baku on Monday, the press service of the
Azeri parliament has reported.
"Armenia is interested in perpetuating the status quo and it does not
implement the four resolutions of the UN Security Council and defies
international norms and principles," he said.
Over its history of 18 years, the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe's Minsk Group has not achieved the result set,
he said.
Lord Waverley in turn said that in order to settle the conflict,
Azerbaijan's territorial integrity must be insured first, and then
refugees and forced migrants must be brought back to their homes and
the security of Armenians residing in Nagorny Karabakh guaranteed.
