There is no question that Garabagh lies within the officially recognized borders of Azerbaijan, and Europe, and the international community has never questioned this, was said in the article published by The Guardian, APA reports.

It was emphasized that there are no legally sound reasons to oppose the reintegration of Garabagh into Azerbaijan.

“To be clear: there is no question that Garabagh lies within the officially recognized borders of Azerbaijan. Europe and the international community have never questioned this, and the war in Ukraine has highlighted once again the significance of sovereignty and territorial integrity as the linchpins of international law. As such, there are no legally sound reasons to oppose the reintegration of Garabagh into Azerbaijan. It is also important to underline that the Azerbaijani president, Ilham Aliyev, has not ordered the 120,000 local Armenians to leave, let alone pointed a gun at their heads. Baku has offered to extend citizenship to all Garabagh Armenians who lay down their weapons and the political struggle for independence,” the publication says.
