    Presidential Administration department head: Statements by
    international organizations on Azerbaijan's territorial integrity are
    already insufficient

    Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 24 /Trend, T.Hajiyev/

    Statements by international organizations on Azerbaijan's territorial
    integrity are important, but insufficient, Azerbaijani Presidential
    Administration Political Analysis and Information Provision Department
    Head Elnur Aslanov told reporters on Friday

    According to him, it's time to make real steps, to demonstrate
    political will. International organizations must take concrete steps
    to liberate Azerbaijani territories from occupation.
    "Because of non-implementation of UN resolutions and decisions of
    other international organizations, Azerbaijan might resort to other
    options," said Aslanov.

    According to him, today Azerbaijan is not only the most stable and
    developed country from political and economic point of view, but also
    today Azerbaijan is the most advanced country in the region from a
    military point of view.
    "Neighboring countries must always consider and realize that
    Azerbaijan may resort to the various options in order to liberate its
    lands," said Aslanov. According to him, despite that different
    organizations call the conflict frozen, in fact, it refers to those
    conflicts in which a ceasefire agreement has been reached.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including
    the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are
    currently holding peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.
