News.az: Azerbaijan stands for peaceful solution of Karabakh conflict


Azerbaijan is ready to direct its high economic potential for the development of the region, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov has said in an interview with a number of media.

"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.

US tells its NATO allies that European security is no longer top priority

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has told Washington's NATO allies that they would have to step up and assume greater responsibility for Europe's security since the U.S. no longer remains "primarily focused on the security of Europe". He said "stark strategic realities", such as U.S. border security issues and threats posed by China are a greater priority. Hegseth also said that a return to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders was unrealistic and the Trump administration does not see NATO membership for Kyiv as part of a solution to the war triggered by Russia's invasion.
