Aliyev: Armenia is the main problem in Karabakh conflict, it does not  want to change status quo

ArmInfo. Undoubtedly, the current situation around Nagorno- Karabakh is not acceptable either for Azerbaijan or for the world community. This was stated by the  President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.

Moreover, the countries that have the mandate for the mediation  mission, the countries - the co-chairs of the Minsk group - Russia,  France and the United States, the Azerbaijani leader added, at the  level of the heads of state have repeatedly stated that the status  quo is unacceptable and must be changed. "We fully share these  positions and we consider such statements to be very correct, but we  are waiting for concrete actions." Of course, statements are  important, but we need to resolve the issue. "All the legal  mechanisms exist to settle the issue," Aliyev said, and in this  context once again recalled the four resolutions of the UN Security  Council and, allegedly, Armenia's unwillingness to fulfill them.

"And unfortunately, no sanctions were imposed on Armenia for this  refusal, other international organizations also adopted a similar  resolution and resolutions: the OSCE, the Organization of Islamic  Cooperation, the European Parliament, the Parliamentary Assembly of  the Council of Europe, the Non- Aligned Movement and other  organizations adopted similar resolutions - Armenia The occupation of  Azerbaijani lands continues, the main problem is Armenia, it does not  want to change the status quo, but in words declares its desire to  negotiate, but in fact is engaged in their imitation And does  everything to ensure that, as you say, everything went in a circle  and it would be a process without end, which is not acceptable either  for us or for the world community. Therefore, it is necessary to  implement the resolutions of the UN Security Council by Armenia as  soon as possible, deoccupation of Azerbaijani territory, since not  only Nagorno-Karabakh, but also seven regions of Azerbaijan are under  occupation, which have nothing to do with the Nagorno-Karabakh  Autonomous Region of the Azerbaijani SSR. And they did not, "the  Azerbaijani president said in an interview with TASS.

At the same time, he expressed the conviction that the beginning of  the so-called "deoccupation" is the first step in the phased  settlement of the conflict, which must be carried out again on the  basis of norms and principles of international law.
