    Azerbaijani President: Nagorno-Karabakh Talks Should Continue VOA News

    Voice of America, DC
    Sept 2 2004

    Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev says he believes negotiations on
    settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should continue. He told
    reporters Thursday if he ever determines that negotiations on the
    conflict are ineffective, Azerbaijan will withdraw.

    Nagorno-Karabakh is an ethnic Armenian enclave in Azerbaijan that
    declared independence in 1988. A six-year conflict over the area
    claimed some 35,000 lives.

    On another issue, Mr. Aliyev says Azerbaijan will not join a call by
    Russia and eight other former Soviet republics for reform of Europe's
    largest security organization.

    In July, the nine countries agreed to seek changes in the Organization
    for Security and Cooperation in Europe. They accused the organization
    of using a double standard in criticizing the human rights situation
    in some countries, while ignoring rights in others.
