ANKARA (AA) -A senior executive in charge of political relations at
the Azerbaijani Presidency, Ali Hasanov on Wednesday [27 February]
said that “we never thought of giving up our territory”, referring
to Nagorno-Karabakh.

Speaking to the Anadolu Agency (AA) at the Azerbaijani Embassy in
Ankara, Ali Hasanov underlined that they never considered giving up
their own territory.

“We are in a process of strengthening our army and economy,” Hasanov
noted.

“If the Armenians insist on continuing the status quo in
Nagorno-Karabakh and do not make efforts to solve the issue, we will
have to think about other options,” Hasanov stated.

“Azerbaijanis living in tents, due to the Armenian occupation in
Nagorno-Karabakh, must be placed in their own territory. If the status
quo continued, war with Armenia is inevitable,” Hasanov also said.
