President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev: “If Armenia lengthens time, negotiations will be ended”
* “If the next meeting with Armenian president does not give results, our hopes for the negotiations will be ended not leaving other way for us” * “Decisions of international organizations and UN Charter allow us to liberate our lands by military way”
01:01 / 22.11.2009 “This injustice cannot be continued. How long will the violation of international law continue? We show good will now. We make concession participating in the negotiations”, said President Ilham Aliyev in his speech during the opening of new settlement for IDPs near Veyisli village of Gornaboy region, APA reports quoting AzerTAC news agency. The president reminded that OSCE Minsk Group was established in 1992 for liberation of Azerbaijani lands from the occupation. “The Minsk Group was not established that to establish second Armenian state in the historic land of Azerbaijan – Nagorno Karabakh. UN Security Council passed four resolutions. There is no other organization in the world above the UN Security Council. If its resolutions are not fulfilled, it means that the Security Council has low influence or the norms of international law don’t work. If it is so let everybody to know its work. If the international law doesn’t work let us to know our work. We don’t violate any law. We are trying to do everything within the law, within the norms of international law. Following that OSCE summits passed decisions, which were not fulfilled. What are we to do? Do we expect? How long? Why Azerbaijani citizens cannot return to their homelands? Why population of Kelbajar cannot return to Kelbajar? It is because Armenians don’t want that. Why? What right they have to do that? These issues had to be solved long ago. We want to solve it via negotiations, peacefully. On the other hand, it is not correct to reconcile with this situation. How long can we reconcile?”
President Ilham Aliyev said he would meet with Armenian president in the next few days. “Sometimes these meetings are successful. But Armenian side tries to lengthen the time sometimes. The last meetings didn’t give any result because Armenian side demonstrated non-constructive position. What reason of that? May be they were encouraged by the process of normalization of the Turkish-Armenian relations. It created wrong thoughts for them that the Turkish-Armenian borders will be opened and Karabakh issue will be put aside. But the processes show that it will not take place. Strong position of Azerbaijan and Turkish community, statements and promises by the Turkish leadership show that Turkish-Armenian relations cannot be normalized without solution of Nagorno Karabakh problem. Armenian side should understand it”.
The head of state said there was and intensive economic development in Azerbaijan. “But Armenian economy was almost paralyzed. Our economic, political and diplomatic successes and strengthening of defense potential are enhancing our position. But we need in the result. We need that they peacefully leave our lands. Then it will bring a peace. Then nobody will say that why Azerbaijan is strengthening its defense potential? Sometimes we hear from the international forces that why Azerbaijan is armed. It does not concern anyone? We are not armed at the expense of theirs. We are armed at own expense, at the expense of our opportunities. What must we do? What must we do to solve this issue comprehensively and for ever?”
President Ilham Aliyev informed about the essence of negotiation process. “I can say now that first alteration Armenian side agreed is that they will withdraw forces from only four regions, which are located throughout railway along Araz River. Other regions will remain under their control until uncertain time. The negotiation process considers withdrawal from five regions at first and then from Kelbajar and Lachin. But it is not full solution of the problem. We want Azerbaijani citizens to return to Nagorno Karabakh, to Shusha – historic city of Azerbaijan. If it doesn’t take place, the problem will not be solved for ever. We must do so that the agreements will not create background for further undesirable developments. If the agreement doesn’t satisfy us, the problem can be raised and create threat again. I am always telling the Armenian side that you must do so that we can satisfy with the agreement, because if don’t satisfy, the problem will be raised again tomorrow or 10 years later”.Bu yazı ( 269 ) - dəfə oxunmuşdur
