Azerbaijan assesses UN decision on Armenia's claim

 The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry welcomed the International Court of Justice's decision to reconfirm Azerbaijan’s long-acknowledged sovereignty over Karabakh.

"We welcome the Court’s ruling that has reconfirmed Azerbaijan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, rightfully rejecting Armenia’s request that challenged Azerbaijan’s long-acknowledged and internationally recognized sovereignty over Karabakh," the ministry said.

The ministry also welcomed the International Court of Justice's decision to reject Armenia's unreasonable demand to withdraw all personnel of the military and law enforcement agencies of Azerbaijan from the Karabakh region.

"It is also noteworthy that the Court has also rejected the baseless and ludicrous request for withdrawal of all military and law-enforcement personnel by Azerbaijan from its Karabakh region," the statement reads.
