The right to self-determination does not apply to Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said while addressing members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
The president also stresses that although Karabakh was once an Azerbaijani territory it is now inhabited solely by Armenians, who do have their own state.
"Armenians have already determined their future and established the Republic of Armenia recognized by Azerbaijan," he said.
"Do you think that every country in which Armenians live should become an Armenian state?" the president said. "I believe one will do," he added.
