Azeri president criticizes intl community for indifference toward
Nagorno-Karabakh problem
BAKU Jan 11
Azeri President Ilham Aliyev has complained that the international
community is indifferent to the problem of Nagorno-Karabakh.
"We are really worried by the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. We are
trying to resolve the problem in a peaceful way, but we see that this
has so far been impossible to accomplish. The reasons are Armenia's
unconstructive position and the international community's indifferent
attitude toward this issue," Aliyev said at an expanded government
session dealing with results of its work in 2007 and plans for 2008.
"We need to speak openly. The entire world recognizes Azerbaijan's
territorial integrity, and this integrity is recognized, supported,
and protected at all bilateral and multilateral meetings and in
official documents. We hear from everywhere that we are right, that
our land is occupied, and that justice is on our side. However, I can
say that this international support, be it verbal or documented, has
not brought about real results. There are no real results," he said.
Aliyev described it as diplomatic success that foreign countries have
recognized the occupation of part of Azerbaijan's territory. "Each
international document makes our position stronger and opens our
ways" toward the settlement of the problem, he said.
"However, we have still not seen any results. I can say that the year
2008 should be decisive in this regard. We will see clearly in 2008
where we are and whether a peaceful resolution of the issue is
possible, and we will certainly make our decisions after that," he
said.
