"We respect the principle of self-determination, but the Armenians
have once had it"
Baku. Ramiz Mikayiloglu - APA. "Only one declaration covers the
outlines of our political ties, and this is a very important document"
said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at the joint press conference
with his French counterpart Francois Hollande, APA reports.
The Head of State said that the consultations strengthen political
ties between the two countries: "Azerbaijan cooperated with France
within the UN Security Council over the past two years. We share the
same positions on a number of issues."
President Ilham Aliyev said that France is a co-chairing country of
the OSCE Minsk Group and recalled that UN Security Council adopted
4 resolutions on the withdrawal of the Armenian forces from the
occupied territories of Azerbaijan: "The Council of Europe and
other international organizations also adopted the documents, but
the occupation continues. The outcomes of the two visits of the
OSCE fact-finding mission show that the settlements and monuments
were destroyed in those territories. We respect the principle of
self-determination, but the Armenians have once had it. We won't allow
the establishment of the second Armenian state in the territory of
Azerbaijan. I believe that France and the other co-chairing countries
of the OSCE Minsk Group will continue their efforts to resolve the
conflict, it will be resolved soon and people will return to their
lands."
French President Francois Hollande noted that some issues are still
impeding the resolution of the conflict: "My visits to Azerbaijan and
Armenia are efforts towards the resolution of this conflict. France
has friendly relations with Azerbaijan and Armenia, we can't choose
between them. We offered to reconsider the resolution of the conflict
at the meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents. France
has always initiated the resolution of the conflict. We are also
considering the issue of Ukraine. We will make the final decision on
the Ukraine crisis in the coming days."
