`Nagorno-Karabakh is an ancient land of Azerbaijan`
Baku, August 1 (AzerTAc). “Nagorno-Karabakh is an ancient land of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijanis have always lived there. All historical monuments and names of places belong to Azerbaijan. It is an integral part of our history and culture,” President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said in an interview to the Business Year magazine devoted to the 20th anniversary of Azerbaijan`s independence.
The Head of State underlined Armenians were relocated here from other areas and today, they want to create another Armenian state. He added neither Azerbaijan nor international community would allow it to happen.
President Ilham Aliyev pointed out he had welcomed the 26 May, 2011 joint statement of the Heads of OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries
The President noted there is no contradiction between territorial integrity and self-determination in the Helsinki Final Act, adding peoples may use this right within the framework of territorial integrity. The Azerbaijani leader said it is the only way of solving the conflict.
According to the Head of State, peace and prosperity in the region can be established in the region only after restoration of the country`s territorial integrity and returning of IDPs to their homeland. He said Azerbaijan would never agree with Nagorno-Karabakh`s independence or its joining Armenia.
President Ilham Aliyev said Azerbaijan`s military spending exceeds the whole Armenia`s state budget.
“In a word, Armenia`s leaders and Armenian lobby must comprehend the reality rightly and realize international community will never recognize results of the occupation and that the conflict would solved sooner or later,” he said.
