Azeri president urges world to intensify Karabakh settlement efforts

Baku. March 14

The Armenian position at the Karabakh settlement talks obstructs
advancement, President Ilham Aliyev said in an interview with the
Montenegrin newspaper Pobjeda.

“The unconstructive Armenian position has prevented advancement at the
negotiations. Armenia frequently violates the ceasefire regime along
the contact line, which leads to military and civilian casualties in
Azerbaijan,” he said.

He said Armenia had been ignoring four resolutions on the UN Security
Council on Karabakh and statements of the OSCE Minsk Group cochairmen
on the impermissibility of preservation of the status quo in the
region.

“I think the world should step up efforts towards fair settlement of
the conflict. We insist that the conflict can be resolved only within
the framework of Azeri territorial integrity by norms and principles
of international law. This is the only way to achieve lasting
stability and cooperation in the region,” Aliyev stressed.
