  • BAKU: Aliyev: Stance on NK Settlement unchanged

    Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
    Sept 22 2004

    Azerbaijan's stance on settlement of Garabagh conflict remains
    unchanged, President says



    Baku, September 21, AssA-Irada
    On Tuesday, President Ilham Aliyev received Philip Dimitrov, the OSCE
    chairman's special envoy on Azerbaijan and Armenia. The Upper
    Garabagh was the topic of discussions.
    Touching upon the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Upper Garabagh and
    Armenia's aggression against Azerbaijan, President Aliyev noted that
    the conflict creates great obstacles for ensuring peace and stability
    in the entire region.
    Aliyev stressed that Azerbaijan's position towards the conflict
    remains unchanged. The problem should be settled within international
    legal norms and principles of the territorial integrity and
    inviolability of borders, he said.
    The Azerbaijani President noted that the conflict will never be
    solved if there is another approach to the issue. Peace and security
    will be ensured in the region and the country's economy rapidly
    developed if the Upper Garabagh conflict is solved, he stressed.
    President Aliyev underscored that international organizations are
    more interested in peaceful settlement of the conflict. Expressing
    his disappointment with the failure of the OSCE Minsk Group to solve
    the conflict so far, Aliyev voiced a hope that the Minsk Group will
    step up its efforts in this respect.
    Dimitrov, in his turn, underlined that the meetings of Azerbaijani
    and Armenian presidents play a great role in the peaceful resolution
    of the Upper Garabagh conflict. He voiced a hope that the conflicting
    sides will step up their efforts to settle the conflict.*
