"This conflict can be resolved only within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan," he said. The whole world recognizes Nagorno-Karabakh as an integral part of Azerbaijan and this is reflected in the resolutions and decisions of all authoritative international organizations.
"No country recognized and I am convinced that it does not recognize the so-called "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic", said Aliyev. Therefore, the main purpose of the negotiations is the liberation of the occupied territories.
