AZERBAIJAN HAS LEGAL RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF BY ANY MEANS, PRESIDENT
Baku, 8 February (AzerTAc). Azerbaijan has the legal right, in accordance with UN Charter, to use any means in order to defend itself, President Ilham Aliyev told Euronews.
Commenting on the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Azerbaijani leader said "nobody wants war in the region".
"The fact we are in talks and have constructive position as well as our supporting the Minsk group`s mediating efforts proves our intentions."
The President said: “But the war is not yet over. We support peaceful negotiations. At the same time we must not forget that Armenia`s armed forces invaded our territories. We`ve never had any territorial claims against anyone. Azerbaijan`s occupied territories and Nagorno-Karabakh itself are our internationally recognized lands. And any event which happens there must be considered Azerbaijan`s internal affair, and not an international conflict."
