‘NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT`S SOLUTION WILL BE BASED SOLELY ON PRINCIPLE OF AZERBAIJAN`S TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY’

Baku, January 1 (AzerTAc). “We are making efforts to achieve fair resolution of the Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh problem within territorial integrity of Azerbaijan” said President Ilham Aliyev in his greeting message to the people of Azerbaijan on World Azerbaijanis Solidarity Day and New Year.
“In 2008, the UN General Assembly adopted a very important resolution on the situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
“Despite 3 out of 5 permanent members of the UN Security Council – Minsk Group co-chairs – opposed this resolution, it was adopted by an overwhelming majority of votes.
“On the one hand, it shows the strength of Azerbaijan and its enhancing prestige. On the other hand, it proves that justice must triumph. The global community supports Azerbaijan, and I have no doubt that resolution of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh will be based solely on the principle of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. There is no other way. The Azerbaijan state and the people of the country will never grant independence to Nagorno-Karabakh” said the Head of State.
“Nagorno-Karabakh has been Azerbaijan`s land from time immemorial, and we will make every effort to “restore” territorial integrity of our country.
“We can use both political, diplomatic and, if necessary, military means. We have the right to do so. The international law guarantees it.” said President Ilham Aliyev.
