BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 5. Unfortunately, the
norms and principles of international law do not function,
President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said in an interview with local television channels on January 5,
Trend reports.
"Azerbaijan was one of the first victims of the failure of
international law,” the President added.
The head of state noted that four resolutions of the UN Security
Council demanding the withdrawal of Armenian troops from
Azerbaijani territories remained only on paper for 27 years,
emphasizing that had Azerbaijan not liberated its lands by force,
those resolutions would have remained unimplemented
indefinitely.
Recalling that over the past five years since the Second
Karabakh War the new realities have been accepted by the entire
world, including the international community, leading countries,
and influential international organizations, the President of
Azerbaijan stated: “We do not live in a world based on paper—the UN
Charter. We live on the land. Therefore, we must be strong, and
this is what we are striving to do. I recommend this to every
country.”
