Politics

«We are already hopeless about the international mechanisms of settlement. We cannot put up with this situation. We will never put up with the loss of the territories. We will never allow Nagorno Karabakh to separate from Azerbaijan and that is not an issue of negotiations. The only issue of negotiations can be the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and the security of all the nations living in the region», announced President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliev today during the school-leaving ceremony of the High Military School after Heydar Aliev, agency «Trend» reports.

«Till when do we have to participate in negotiations? How long can we wait? Our patience is not endless. Today Azerbaijan is developing rapidly. Armenia cannot catch up with us in the economic, political and military field. Let them think in Armenia where the two countries will be in one, three, or five years. Armenia does not have any way of development. They are isolated from all the international and regional programs, the possibilities of economic development are restricted, and half of the population has left the country. According to our information, they have difficulty in protecting the borders due to the lack of human resources», the Azeri President announced.

«We don't have any other problems except Nagorno Karabakh, that's why we must spend all the resources on the formation of the army», Aliev said mentioning that Azerbaijan is at was and must pay attention to the army. «We try to strengthen the army in every way we can. We must add financing which we do. The military expenses have increased fourfold for the last three years. In 2003 135 million USD were spent in the military field, whereas in 2006 700 million», Ilham Aliev announced.
