The Helsinki Final act is assumed as a basis and the change of â€œstatus-quoâ€ is especially underlined in this declaration. In this case the Azerbaijani lands must be liberated. The third important factor is the increase of activity by the co-chair countries on the conflictâ€™s settlementâ€, said Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at the Cabinet of Ministersâ€™ meeting dedicated to the results of socio-economic development of the 6 months 0f 2011.

The head of state said that Armenia has not wanted the change of â€œstatus-quoâ€ for 20 years.

Saying that the negotiations on settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict were held basing on Prague, then Madrid principles, the Minsk group co-chairs presented the renewed Madrid principles to the both sides in 2009. He said that Azerbaijan unambiguously accepted these principles at Sochi meeting initiated by the Russian president: â€œArmenia refuses to accept these principles under various pretexts. Informing about the significance of Madrid principles, the president said that the new situation was established, Azerbaijan was again demonstrating the constructivenessâ€.

The president also said that despite the attitude of the entire world, European organizations, especially the co-chair countries, Armeniaâ€™s actions in recent days are inconceivable.

Saying that â€œone of the main reasons of the international unionâ€™s activization in recent years is the existence of Azerbaijani state and armyâ€, the president said that Azerbaijan was more interested in the quick settlement of this issue.
