We have passed several stages during this period. We are approaching the last stage of talks on the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict,â€? Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev told AzTV, APA reports. Ilham Aliyev said that all problems were discussed and the partiesâ€™ positions were formed within these three years.
â€œNow the future of the talks depends on our steps. From this point of view I normally estimate the results of the last meeting. Debatable questions were discussed at the meeting. We have managed to solve a number of problems. But there still are debatable problems and the two presidents talked over them. Azerbaijanâ€™s position remains unchanged. Our position is to solve the problem within Azerbaijanâ€™s territorial integrity. The UN resolutions have to be executed. Azerbaijani territories should be released and over 1 million refugees should return to their motherland. We are satisfied with the activity of international organizations recently. They have already expressed their opinion of the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh within Azerbaijanâ€™s territorial integrity. This strengthens our position,â€? the President said. /APA/
