Aliyev says no all possibilities for Karabakh settlement used yet

by Viktor Shulman

Azerbaijani President Ilkham Aliyev said not all possibilities for
resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict have been used yet.

“The latest visit of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen to Azerbaijan,
a visit of senior diplomats and the talks they had inspire hope for a
peaceful settlement. These possibilities have not been used up yet,
and Azerbaijan is using them,” the president said on Friday evening
at an official reception on the occasion of Day of the Republic.

At the same time, he said Baku would never allow “Nagorno-Karabakh
to be separated form Azerbaijan.”

Aliyev believes that the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over
Nagorno-Karabakh is the main source of threat not only to his country
but also to the entire region where major energy and transport
projects are implemented.
