BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 2. We know and recognize that the Karabakh region is Azerbaijani territory, said President of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier at a joint press conference with President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, Trend reports.
"I have dealt with conflicts in the South Caucasus in various positions, and I have been familiar with the relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia for a long time. If you look at the policies of German governments in recent years, you will probably see that there has been a very balanced attitude towards this region, both towards Armenia and Azerbaijan. That is, we have tried to show an attitude that does not disregard the sensitivities, and so far we have displayed an attitude in accordance with international law. As I said, we very much welcome the preparation of a peace treaty. We know and recognize that the Karabakh region is Azerbaijani territory. This is our position, and this position can also be specified by Azerbaijan," he said.
