“There are four UN resolutions demanding the withdrawal of Armenian troops from the occupied territories. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and other international organizations have passed decisions on this matter. We will return to our homeland and restore the territorial integrity. One million refugees and IDPs should return to live in their homeland”, said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev addressing the second Global Shared Societies Forum in Baku, APA reports.
The Head of State said an illegal referendum was held in Nagorno-Karabakh region after 30 percent of local residents were deported from their motherland. Therefore, no countries have recognized this illegal referendum.
President Ilham Aliyev stated that at present, power takes the main place in international relations: “We must be owner of our fate and be even stronger. We must try to gather the society around the priorities. These are the liberation of our territories, further strengthening of our independence and creation of better living conditions for the people. If a society is mobilized around the basic purposes, it does not collapse. We need to discuss shortcomings. But the most important thing is that our societies have already united.”
Aliyev noted that poverty rate in Azerbaijan that was 49 percent ten years ago has already dropped: “We should achieve the sustainable development.”
