Khazar Ibragim: "Nagorno Karabakh is an interstate conflict, while Kosovo is an internal one"

18 February 2008 [16:34] - TODAY.AZ
Azerbaijan does not support anyone in the issue of Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence.

The due announcement was made by Khazar Ibragim, spokesman for Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry, in an answer to reporters' questions regarding polarization of positions on the Kosovo issue between the states.

“Azerbaijan’s position is based on its national interests. It shows that Azerbaijan respects international law and understands its items properly. Supporting somebody, or building policy in any direction is out of question. Azerbaijan prefers its national interests, Azerbaijan is an independent and a self-reliant state and will always act in line with its interests and international law,” he said.

Commenting on the deployment of forces in Kosovo by some international organizations, Khazar Ibrahim said if the international organizations – European Union and others pass decision on deploying any forces in Kosovo, this process should be in the framework of relevant international documents.

“Unlike the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Kosovo is not a conflict between states. Nagorno Karabakh conflict has been recognized as Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict by the international community and Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents participate in the talks called the Prague process for the peaceful settlement of the conflict,” he said.
