ALIYEV COMMENTS ON MOSCOW DECLARATION

Politics


Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev today announced that there are only two sides to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijan and Armenia.


“There is no other side in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but Azerbaijan and Armenia. That has been always well known, and the fact was confirmed by the signature of the Armenian President in the Moscow Declaration,” Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said at his meeting with the participants of the Baku round table entitled Azerbaijan in the 21st Century – Strategy of Development.


President Aliyev says the Moscow Declaration clearly specifies main mechanisms for the conflict settlement.


“Those are resolutions and decisions meeting international norms and rights. The Declaration is an important political document stipulating for the ways of settlement of the conflict, and they base on international standards. The guarantee section of the Declaration specifies the guarantees of every stage of the settlement,” said President Aliyev.


According to Trend Agency Azerbaijani President doesn't think that mere signing of the declaration is enough. “Armenia’s political will is required to make a sound decision – to withdraw Armenian troops from the territory that has never belonged to Armenia, to stop aggression, to pursue a policy meeting the international norms. In this case, peace in the Caucasus will be ensured very soon,” he said.
