This is the main problem not only to our foreign policy, but also for the country as a whole. As you know, the question for many years, does not find a solution, justice and international law are violated and injustice continues. Azerbaijan uses and must do everything possible to resolve the issue. Diplomatic efforts should grow and grow. Other factors must also play a role in solution of this issue, and important steps are taken in this direction,' said President Ilham Aliyev at the 4th meeting of diplomatic corps of Azerbaijan, APA reports.

The head of the State also speaking about weak position of Armenia on Nagorno Karabakh conflict noted that international organizations adopted resolutions that support fair position of Azerbaijan. “If you look at the period of independence, we can see that during these 20 years, the gap, i.e. the rift between Armenia and Azerbaijan has become even greater. In subsequent years, the gap will only increase, and benefits of Azerbaijan will become even more visible.

Diplomatic efforts continue. Embassies take purposeful actions in this direction. The number of our friends and friendly countries increase in the world. International organizations adopted fair enough resolutions that ensure our interests in solution of Nagorno-Karabakh problem. Four resolutions of the UN Security Council, OSCE decisions, resolutions of other international organizations - the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the European Parliament, the Council of Europe, the Non-Aligned Movement, decision of NATO, that is, the legal framework is wide, strong and indestructible.First of all, the legal framework must be strong to resolve the conflict, . Armenia’s position on this matter is very weak, and our position is very strong.

I have repeatedly expressed my thoughts about the historical aspect of the question, given the appropriate instructions, including our scientists that we need to publish a new book with a powerful argument to the historical aspect of the question. Work continues in this direction, our research and writings reflect the truth, which is built on the historical truth.

The historical aspect of the question is also very significant, because for many years Armenians through their Armenian lobbies are trying to form an opinion in the world that Nagorno-Karabakh is an ancient Armenian land and the Armenian people for centuries lived in this land. This is absolutely false, distorted information. Now we are exposing the lies and presenting the truth, at the same time strengthen the historical basis for a settlement.

In general, demographic situation, will determine a lot in the future. For some reason, this factor is not taken into account. However, we see that opportunity, and the authority and power of influence in many cases depend on the people and number of population. We have this positive dynamics. At the Cabinet meeting, I expressed my opinion on this matter.

We must make sure that Azerbaijani population grew at an even faster pace. If there are still people who are aware of the reality in the leadership of Armenia, they need to understand that in the short-and long-term competition with Azerbaijan, they will face only defeat. Now, if they would agree to an option on the table of negotiations and withdraw its troops from the occupied territories, in this case they will provide the future of their people. Because in the future great dangers wait for them', said Ilham Aliyev, the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
