There is no territorial unit and conflict called Nagorno Karabakh, Azeri president says

In his speech at the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Azerbaijani President Aliyev said his country has resolved the 30-year-long conflict and restored “its territorial integrity and historical justice by military-political means.”

“The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was left in the past. There is no administrative territorial unit called Nagorno-Karabakh in Azerbaijan. We have created Karabakh and Eastern Zangazur economic zones by the Presidential decree signed on 7 July this year. Using this occasion, I would like to call on all the UN Member States and the UN Secretariat to avoid using legally non-existing, politically biased and manipulative names while referring to our territories,” Aliyev said.

He also that Azerbaijan has created a new reality in the Southern Caucasus region “which has to be taken into account by all”.

“Armenia has to make a choice between regional cooperation and illegal and baseless territorial claims against its neighbors. The international community should also play its positive role in this regard and urge Armenia to realize that peace has no alternative. Any acts directly or indirectly supporting revanchism and militarization in Armenia must be ceased,” he added.
