Baku Going to Amend Policy on Karabakh Issue

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated that "Armenia's non-constructive position on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement forces Baku to amend the policy on the issue." "We adhere to the peaceful negotiations but they however have not yielded any result yet. Under such conditions we have to reconsider our policy," Aliyev said. Delivering a speech at the ceremony of handing the combat banner, opening of the museum and monument to Heydar Aliyev at the Academy of the Ministry of National Security Ilham Aliyev noted that "Azerbaijan's position on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is unchangeable - the territorial integrity of the country should be restored." At that he added that the potential of the peaceful talks has not been exhausted yet. "Armenia should know that we can solve the problem by force any moment," Aliyev said. He noted that Azerbaijan is increasing its military budget every year and this tendency will be maintained. "Expansion of the defense budget is the sovereign right of each state. This is a natural process in a country whose sovereignty was infringed and which experiences a military conflict," the Azerbaijani President stated.
