The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is the biggest problem of Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said. "Almost 20 percent of our territories have been occupied by Armenia, and in 1992 Armenian armed forces killed the entire population of the town of Khojali. We have worked hard to inform the world community about this and present the issue to the UN General Assembly," Elmar Mammadyarov said in an interview with Mexican newspaper The News.
In the interview Elmar Mammadyarov said that he is “absolutely sure that Armenia will eventually return our territories because it is a matter of international law” and “that if diplomatic options of trading the territories back should fail, Azerbaijan is prepared “to use whatever means it takes" to reclaim its territory.
