ALP DOESN'T BELIEVE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

The ALP chairperson Lala Shovkat Hajiyeva told Azernews Tuesday that she does not believe that the OSCE Minsk Group or the UN can resolve the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict.

According to her, Azerbaijan should resolve the problem itself. For this, first of all, a professional army should be established. Then, before the negotiations commence, Armenia should pull out from the occupied Azeri territories. L. Hajiyeva thinks it is also necessary to organize an influential lobby abroad. The ALP chairperson believes that the only way to solve the conflict is a military-diplomatic one.
