Khazar Ibrahim: "Azerbaijan is strong enough to conduct its independent external policy"

Azerbaijan is for the resolution of any conflicts in the legal framework, said spokesman for Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Khazar Ibrahim, speaking about the position of official Baku during the Palestine-Israel conflict.

"Azerbaijan has very good relations both with Israel and the Arab countries. At the same time Azerbaijan have been for resolution of any conflicts in the legal frames. Therefore, I do not think that the position of the official Baku on Palestine-Israel conflict, which did not differ much from the position of the entire world community, will deteriorate ties between Israel and Azerbaijan.

Speaking about possible fair resolution of the Karabakh conflict considering the fact that Russia among the Minsk Group co-chairs is associated with the next scandal with free supplies of its military hardware to Armenia, the spokesman noted:

"We have already stated that the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry keeps the information in focus which is due to the free supply arms in the amount of $1 billion to Armenia by Russia in 1996. Naturally, arming an agressor by any country, especially the OSCE MG co-chairing country, is a very undesirable fact, which is not favorable for the peaceful and fair resolution of the Karabakh conflict. At the same time, we can not deny the importance of Russia and other Minsk Group co-chairing states in the fair resolution of this conflict.

Ibrahim said Azerbaijan is dynamically developing relations with different countries and world organizations.

"In particular, Azerbaijan has mutually profitable and warm relations with the United States, Russia, Turkey and Iran. But at the same time Azerbaijan is strong enough to hold its independent external policy", said the spokesman, answering the question about the support of any superpower to Azerbaijan in the issue of the fair resolution of the Karabakh conflict as well as the settlement of any problems and challenges facing our country.
