On Monday, President Ilham Aliyev told a ministerial session devoted to
the results of the socio-economic development of Azerbaijan in 2011,
that Azerbaijan wouldn’t let the negotiations on a settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict concentrate on simple non-admission of a
war, rather than solving the problem, 1news.az reports, citing the
national channel AzTV.
According to Aliyev, there are two ways to resolve the Karabakh
conflict – talks and a military campaign. “There is no third way. The
conflict is not frozen,” the president emphasized. He also complained
about “the destructive position” of Yerevan in 2011. However, he thinks
there were positive events last year: three state mediators (the US,
Russia, and France) made a statement about the inadmissability of
maintaining the status quo and the necessity of implementing the
decisions made.
