    Azerbaijan, Baku, Aug. 30 /Trend I. Izzet/

    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be solved in the near future, the Deputy
    Prime Minister of Azerbaijan, the Chairman of the State Committee
    for Deals of Refugees and IDPs Ali Hasanov told journalists on Friday.

    Deputy Prime Minister noted that August 31 is the day of occupation
    of Azerbaijan's Gubadli district and added that in the near future
    Azerbaijan will liberate its lands occupied by Armenia.

    "We are very sorry that we come together only on the days of
    occupation. We are fully confident that in the near future we will
    also gather together on the day of victory under the leadership of
    Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. We believe that the time will
    come when these lands will be liberated. We will surely meet with
    Gubadli district's community in Gubadli - one of the most beautiful
    places of Azerbaijan," Deputy Prime Minister said.

    Hasanov went on to add that, this problem will be solved soon,
    despite the fact that Armenia is delaying the problem's settlement
    with an unconstructive position.

    "Azerbaijani President was able in a short time to familiarize the
    whole world with Azerbaijan and this country's people, he turned
    Azerbaijan into a center of global interests, and the Head of State
    will be able to solve this problem. We believe that besides this
    problem, there are no serious problems in the country. Our only problem
    is the problem of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
    and it will be solved," Hasanov said.

    The Deputy Prime Minister said that the President of Azerbaijan
    Ilham Aliyev provided 1,200,000 refugees and internally displaced
    persons (IDPs) with all required conditions and solved all their
    social problems.

    "During the last year, averagely $1,350 was spent on one IDP. Over
    the last 20 years $5.4 million dollars were spent to this sphere,
    and over 80 percent of these works have been carried out during Ilham
    Aliyev's presidency years. The number of the settlements built for
    the IDPs will reach 82, and some 180,000 people, or up to 35,000
    families will be resettled till late 2013, and 91 percent of this
    has been conducted in the last 10 years," Hasanov underscored.

    Deputy Prime Minister added that Azerbaijani President will surely
    achieve the liberation of the occupied lands.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.

    Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since
    1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven 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.
