BAKU (news.az)-Azeri President Ilham Aliyev has rejected a compromise
proposal by his Armenian counterpart, Serzh Sarkisian that territory
for security and self-determination for the Nagorno-Karabakh republic.

Sarkisian on Monday said Armenia could consider returning some of the
liberated territories between Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan only
after firm guarantees from Baku and the international community for
the security and self-determination for the people of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Aliyev ruled out that option during a speech at a holiday celebration
on Wednesday marking the start of Spring in Azerbaijan.

"That independence of Nagorno Karabakh beyond Azerbaijan is absolutely
unacceptable. This is our principal position. Nagorno Karabakh will
never be independent," Aliyev said. "Azerbaijan will never recognize
[Karabakh] and the international community will never recognize it."

The conflict’s settlement is "the most important problem" facing
Azerbaijan, Aliyev said, adding that the country has been quickly
developing its economy and military to "strengthen its position in
the negotiations process."

"Today we are the most economically developed country of the region
and our development cannot be compared to the development of other
countries," he said in an apparent reference to neighboring Armenia
and Karabakh.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
