Azerbaijan Has Right to Liberate Its Lands: Jordan General

Trend News

If the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is not resolved by peaceful means, Azerbaijan has a right to liberate its lands, Khalid Jamil al Sarayrah, chairman of the United Committee of the Heads of Headquarters of the Armed Forces of Jordan said in his meeting with the Defense Minister of Azerbaijan Safar Abiyev.

The defense minister of Azerbaijan informed his guest of the military and political situation in the region.

The Minister said that 15-year mediation of OSCE Minsk Group on the peaceful resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict does not yield any results and added that if no results are achieved in resolving the conflict by peaceful means, Azerbaijan can resort to serious measures to liberate its occupied lands.

The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began in 1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since 1992, Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding districts. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which time the active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group ( Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding peaceful negotiations.
