"Azerbaijan's position is clear: we support the peaceful settlement of the conflict and are interested in the development of the entire region. Azerbaijan is ready to direct its high economic potential for the development of the entire region," said the minister.
According to him, the withdrawal of Armenian forces from the occupied Azerbaijani territories can create the conditions for Armenia itself to use wider economic potential of Azerbaijan, as well as to reach a real program of the Nagorno-Karabakh region's development, including attracting real investment.
"We accept living of Armenians in the Nagorno-Karabakh region as its citizens, and wish that they were living in good conditions.
However, the presence of the armed forces of Armenia in the occupied Azerbaijani territories is a major obstacle to this," said Mammadyarov.
