Novruz Mammadov: Azerbaijan will liberate its territories

"Sooner or later Azerbaijan will liberate its territories," the head of the

Foreign Relations Department of the Presidential Administration, Novruz

Mammadov, said in an interview with local media. According to him, the

OSCE is interested in continuing the peace talks, as evidenced by the

visits of the OSCE Minsk Group to the region. "Baku is a supporter of 

dialogue, but Azerbaijan will not allow Armenia to deliberately delay

the peace talks," the representative of the presidential

administration said. However, he supported continuing the peace

talks at presidential level.

In the opinion of Novruz Mammadov, the Minsk Group finds that the

stagnation in the peace talks has caused tensions in the conflict

zone. However, the Azerbaijani side believes that the more important

cause of the conflict is the tension around the airport, illegally being

built by Armenia in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.

Novruz Mammadov noted that the co-chairs of the OSCE said that this move

by Armenia is undesirable from the point of view of regional security.

According to him, instead of making statements that do not affect the

result, the OSCE should put pressure on the occupying country. The

bias of the international community with regard to the occupation

policy of Armenia cannot change the position of official Baku, and

sooner or later Azerbaijan will liberate its territories, the

head of the Foreign Relations of the Presidential Administration of

Azerbaijan said.
