In case the talks over settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict are futile, Azerbaijan will review its policy, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said. “It is difficult to say what will happen in case the talks fail. In any case, if the current round of talks is futile, Azerbaijan will review its strategy, tactics and attitude,” the Azeri President told journalists.
The Azeri President noted that Baku insists on conflict settlement “on the basis of international legal norms, providing for withdrawal of Armenian occupation forces from the Azeri territory and conferring high degree of autonomy to NK within Azerbaijan.”
“There is a positive practice of autonomy in the world. There are especially many national minorities and autonomies in Europe. Being a national minority does not mean having the right to secede part of the state and form a new one,” I. Aliyev said, reports Interfax.
