The only thing that we didn’t manage to attain is the resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict which is very important for our country. In all others spheres we have achieved tangible results,” Azerbaijan’s President Ilhalm Aliyev said during an interview to three Russian media.

“We have always said that the conflict must be settled only by phases. The first stage should envision liberation of Azerbaijan’s occupied lands. These are the seven disputed regions around Nagorno Karabakh. Our refugees and internally displaced persons should return there. International guarantees of security of the population to reside in this region are necessary. The next stage should define the legal status of Nagorno Karabakh. This status must be defined in the framework of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and considering the high level of autonomy for the population of Nagorno Karabakh. We consider that today's format of talks reflects these approaches. Today there is a new leader in Armenia, and there is a hope that official Yerevan will come up with a more constructive approach to this issue,” said President Aliyev.

It is needless to say that Serzh Sargsyan highlights Karabakh’s right to self-determination neglecting the other issues.
