 Fuad Akhundov: Azerbaijan does not encroach into a single inch of foreign territory.

“While I am writing these lines ‘the relevant UN Security Council resolutions on Nagorno-Karabakh remain unfulfilled’, the UN Security Council called on Armenia and Azerbaijan to immediately cease hostilities and return to constructive negotiations, said Fuad Akhundov, head of the sector at the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration.

Akhundov said it is interesting that the main conditions of the four resolutions adopted by the Security Council 27 years ago were all the same – to immediately cease hostilities and hostile acts of the conflicting parties, to ensure an immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces from the Kalbajar region and others. “The Security Council then also urged the parties to immediately resume negotiations in order to resolve conflict. All this has not yet been ensured, and the military actions of the parties periodically resumed with varying strength.”

He noted that the latest clash again attracted the attention of the world community.

“First of all, I would like to note that Azerbaijan does not encroach into a single inch of foreign territory. Today, we are again called for negotiations. But negotiations have been going on since 1994, and there are still no results. Moreover, in my opinion, some events and circumstances make negotiations meaningless. Remember Pashinyan's statement “Karabakh is Armenia and full stop. He even forgot that it happened during the Soviet period. However, after the independence of Azerbaijan and Armenia, the scenario of the so-called Armenian majority at that time, "people" of Nagorno-Karabakh who wanted to unite with Armenia began,” the official said.

Akhundov also commented on allegations of the Turkish intervention into the conflict.

“There are no Turkish military bases, soldiers, officers and mainly, “Syrians”, other mercenaries and volunteers in Azerbaijan. Information about an Armenian plane shot down by a Turkish fighter jet over Armenian territory is simply ridiculous. It is obvious that the remains of shot down jet are shown in such a situation.

“Regarding the issue of arms, Azerbaijan buys arms from Israel, Czech and Russia. With full price. Azerbaijan established an army ready for modern war. We will cope with this task by ourselves- liberate our lands and put four resolutions of the UN Security Council regarding Karabakh in practice,” he concluded.
