The Karabakh conflict can be resolved only within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and this is supported by state-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, said President Ilham Aliyev at the meeting of the government on 9 April. According to him, "this year, the state co-chairs have put forward new proposals for the continuation of negotiations."
"During my visit to the United States the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was widely also discussed with the political leadership of the United States. They noted that they support the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. All the co-chairing countries - the US, Russia, France support the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. There is no any country in the world, except Armenia, which would not support our territorial integrity. Obviously, the possibility of positive dynamics in the negotiations has led Armenia to this provocation (aggravation of the situation at the front on 2 April)," said Aliyev.
Expressing attitude to the calls of the international community to de-escalate the situation, Aliyev said that Azerbaijan is committed to peaceful political settlement of the conflict.
"Today we declare that we are committed to the negotiation process. We hope that these talks will lead to the solution of the problem. The solution is very simple - Armenian armed forces must leave the occupied lands, Azerbaijani citizens must return to their native land, only then peace and security may be established in the region. As for the principle of self-determination of peoples, this principle should not violate the territorial integrity of countries, and just these expressions are reflected in the Helsinki Final Act. All conflicts must be solved within the territorial integrity of the country, " said Aliev.-06D--
