Aliyev Prefers Waiting for More Acceptable Outcome in Karabakh Issue

PanARMENIAN.Net - "At present, we have two options to solve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict: either we agree to a treaty or proposal that does not satisfy us now, or we reach a result more suitable for Azerbaijan after a while. I am for the second option," said Ilham Aliyev, president of Azerbaijan in his interview with Turkish NTV channel. Speaking of progresses in Azerbaijan in last two years, Aliyev said Azerbaijani budget now exceeds that of Armenia four times, and the economic and military development will strengthen the position of Azerbaijan in the talks.



Speaking of the delay of building of Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline, Aliyev called it natural, as the matter concerns «a large, transnational project, joining three countries, two seas. Its building, engineering works are extremely difficult. At present oil has come to Turkey, where final works are under way. I hope we will mark the opening of the oil pipeline in Ceyhan soon,» the Azeri leader said.
