ALIEV THREATENS AGAIN

Politics

Regardless of the fact that Ilham Aliev agreed to meet with his Armenian counterpart Robert Kocharyan on the Karabakh conflict peaceful settlement, today he made the following announcement, «It is impossible to grant the NKR the status of an independent country».

According to the Trend agency Ilham Aliev made this announcement during the interview with Abu-Dabi TV Station. «Armenians seek freedom for the NKR but it is improbable. Azerbaijan will never accept it. We cannot give only sovereignty».

Ilham Aliev remarked that Azerbaijan is trying to settle the matter in a peaceful way and noted, «If Armenians want to see the conflict settled and live in safety, they must implement the commitments of Resolution 4 of the UNO Security Council».

Though Mr. Aliev spoke of the peaceful regulation of the conflict, he again couldn't avoid making militaristic announcements. «At the same time we are strengthening our economy, army and hence must be ready for the liberation of the occupied territories. It is our legal right».
