Nagorno Karabakh will never gain independence and join Armenia

Regarding carrying out negotiations in the framework of the Prague process, the head of state said Azerbaijan's territorial integrity is recognized by international community and the world community condemns referendum illegally held in Nagorno Karabakh, APA reports.

"The frame of negotiations is our diplomatic and political success. I want to hope that Armenia will realize it and find a way out of the situation," he said.

Noting that sometimes Armenian officials make statements that Karabakh will gain independence, the president regarded them as false.

"In this case, Armenia would not ask to stop the talks due to the elections in Armenia. If they are satisfied with the talks why they ask us to stop them? They proposed to stop the negotiations and said it may have negative influence on internal situation. It shows what the negotiations are based on. I do not want to go into details, because the negotiations are negative. But anyway the public is aware of some points. I can only say we will never allow Nagorno Karabakh's independence. Nagorno Karabakh will never join Armenia. If those living in Nagorno Karabakh want self-determination they can move to Armenia - the state established on historical places of Azerbaijan," the President stressed.
