On Monday, President Ilham Aliyev told a ministerial session devoted to the results of the socio-economic development of Azerbaijan in 2011, that Azerbaijan wouldn’t let the negotiations on a settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict concentrate on simple non-admission of a war, rather than solving the problem, 1news.az reports, citing the national channel AzTV.
According to Aliyev, there are two ways to resolve the Karabakh conflict – talks and a military campaign. “There is no third way. The conflict is not frozen,” the president emphasized. He also complained about “the destructive position” of Yerevan in 2011. However, he thinks there were positive events last year: three state mediators (the US, Russia, and France) made a statement about the inadmissability of maintaining the status quo and the necessity of implementing the decisions made.
