    AZERI SIEGE TO ARMENIA TO CONTINUE UNTIL YEREVAN GIVES BACK OCCUPIED LANDS

    BAKU. Feb 17

    The economic siege on Armenia laid by Azerbaijan will not be lifted
    until Armenia gives back the occupied Azeri lands, Azeri presidential
    administration member Elnur Aslanov said.

    "Baku will continue the economic blockade of Yerevan until Armenia,
    which currently makes territorial claims on Azerbaijan, Georgia and
    Turkey and has occupied Azeri lands, abandons its aggressive plans
    and launches a constructive policy towards its neighbors," the head
    of the Azeri presidential administration's political analysis and
    information support department said.

    "Armenia, which has occupied 20% of the Azeri territory, is now making
    territorial claims on Turkey's Anatolia and Georgia's Javakheti," he
    said on Monday at a conference entitled "Azerbaijan-Georgia-Turkey:
    the Trilateral Union and the Future of Regional Politics", organized
    by the Azeri president's Center for Strategic Studies.

    "We have never concealed that the severe politico-economic situation
    in Armenia is a result of the non-constructive policy of the
    administration of that country," Aslanov said.

    He noted that Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey supported each other's
    territorial integrity and sovereignty.

    "We would very much like the Armenian administration to join our
    regional and global projects. The time will come and we will hold
    similar events, conferences, with the participation of Armenian leaders
    in the presently occupied Khojaly, Shusha and Hankendi. This day will
    come. We are working on it," Aslanov stressed.

    "It is a pity that a number of western international organizations are
    seeking to open the Armenian-Turkish border. We once again express
    our gratitude to the Turkish side, the official representatives of
    which have said many times that Ankara will not open the border with
    Armenia until the Karabakh conflict is resolved consistent with Azeri
    territorial integrity principles and the occupied Azeri lands are
    free," Aslanov concluded.
