Ali Akhmedov: "Concept of the OSCE Minsk Group on the settlement of the Garabagh conflict is incorrect"

"The settlement of the conflict depends not only on the Azerbaijani authorities", he noted.

A.Akhmedov stressed that the authorities of Azerbaijan do their best to create favorable international climate for the conflict settlement.

He also mentioned changes in the position of the international community as compared to the previous years.

"It is all important for the further settlement of the conflict", he said.

A.Akhmedov noted that the development of the military potential of Azerbaijan had caused concern of the Armenian side and organizations, supporting it on the international arena.

"Several international organizations voiced concern over the development of our military potential. They are concerned over Azerbaijan's possible settlement of the problem on basis of principles of justice by force", Akhmedov added,

Akhmedov said touching upon the mediators' activity on the settlement of the Garabagh conflict that the chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group have not yet found variants, acceptable for both sides.

"This proves that their concept is incorrect", he stressed.

The deputy chairman of the party considers that there are no variants that would be acceptable for both sides.

"The matter is the release of the occupied lands of Azerbaijan. If Armenia accept these proposals, another situation may emerge. Otherwise, in case the Armenian side does not agree to release the occupied lands of Azerbaijan, it is not clear how the mediators will seek for the variants acceptable for both sides", the executive secretary said.

"We hope that the Azerbaijani diplomacy, the power and strength of our country will change mediators' attitude to the issue. Azerbaijan is for the settlement of the conflict only if the territorial integrity of the country is provided and it does not accept any other variants", A.Akhmedov concluded.
