We are communicating these realities to the whole world. Numerous works and books have been published, and many events have been held. We must bring and are bringing the historical truth to the world,” said President Ilham Aliyev as he addressed an Iftar ceremony on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan. The head of state noted: “No-one doubts that Nagorno-Karabakh has historically belonged to the Azerbaijani people. From a legal point of view, Nagorno-Karabakh is an inalienable part of Azerbaijan. The whole world recognizes the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. No country recognizes and I am sure never will recognize the criminal and self-proclaimed regime existing in Nagorno-Karabakh. These factors, historical facts and the norms of international law, the decisions and resolutions of international organizations not only strengthen our position but also create the basis for a settlement of the conflict. They have created a legal framework, and we have achieved this as a result of tireless activity”

“I am confident that by pursuing a consistent policy, we will achieve our goal and restore the territorial integrity of our country. I have no doubt about that. This is suggested by historical realities, the legal framework, the resolutions of the UN Security Council, decisions and resolutions of other organizations, our economic and military power, and the actual situation in the region,” President Ilham Aliyev added.
