BAKU, Azerbaijan, Oct. 3

On many occasions, I raised this issue and was saying that international sanctions must be imposed on Armenia to force them to comply with resolutions and to start liberation of our territories but my appeals were not answered properly, and now what is happening is a result of Armenia’s destructive policy, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said while interviewed by Al Jazeera TV channel, Trend reports.
Having noted that from point of view of international law norms and decisions and resolutions of international organizations, Azerbaijan has very broad support, the head of state said: “As I already mentioned UN Security Council resolutions which is resolutions of the highest international body adopted resolutions asking Armenia or demanding Armenia to withdraw their troops. The General Assembly of United Nations did the same, other international organizations, like Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Non-Aligned Movement, European Parliament and others did the same but it is not enough, so we have a legal framework for the resolution. But there is not enough practical pressure on aggressor and here we see the contradiction between international law, and what is happening in reality. So, such an open ignorance of the norms and principles of international law by Armenia, should be a good indicator that international law doesn’t work, or it works selectively,” Azerbaijani president said.
