Although Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding territories have been occupied by the Armenian armed forces since 1994, according to international law, they are unequivocally the legal territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Eurasia Diary reports.
The statement came from well-known Russian journalist Dmitry Kiselyov on Vesti Nedeli.
He has spoken about the Karabakh war, he said:
That is why no state, not even Armenia, has recognized the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, the so-called state created in the occupied territories.
Now the main issue is the return of IDPs to their native lands and living in peace. According to international law, if Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan, then, of course, Azerbaijan will be the guarantor of security in those territories.
Russian peacemakers deployed there to preserve peace and political solution.
The well-known journalist also noted that there is an old and strong tradition between the Presidents of Russia and Azerbaijan:
"Negotiations between them are always severe, but I must say that both leaders always keep their word. It is a well-known fact. "I am sure it will also be the same this time. "
