    ALIYEV VISITS AZERI ARMY STRONGHOLDS AT CONTACT LINE WITH ...


    Azeri President Ilham Aliyev visited Azeri army strongholds at the
    contact line between the Azeri and Armenian armed forces during his
    trip to the western part of the country.

    Speaking with public activists in Agcabedi, Aliyev said, "Before
    meeting with you, I visited the fighting positions, looked at the
    enemy's positions and talked with the soldiers."

    Azerbaijan's main problem these days is Armenia's occupation of
    Nagorno-Karabakh and seven other districts of Azerbaijan, he said.

    "We will resolve this problem, I believe in this. The international
    community supports Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. The UN
    Security Council has adopted four resolutions, and although they are
    not being implemented, they serve as a legal basis for the settlement
    process," Aliyev said.

    The Council of Europe and the Organization for Security and
    Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) have adopted similar documents
    acknowledging Armenia's aggression, he said.

    "Our goal was to develop a firm position based on international law,
    and we have accomplished this," he said.

    The fact that Armenia is not insisting on Nagorno-Karabakh's
    independence shows Azerbaijan's strength, he said.

    Aliyev at the same time pointed to the need to further strengthen the
    Azeri armed forces.
