MOSCOW. Jan 11 (Interfax) - Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has expressed confidence that the Nagorno-Karabakh crisis has been settled.
"The joint statement of November 9 is being successfully implemented. Most of the clauses of this statement have been fulfilled. The Russian peacekeeping mission is doing its job effectively and in two months, with the exception of minor incidents, there were no serious reasons for concern. All this instills confidence that, as [Russian President] Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin] once said, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is now history, and we should think about the future," Aliyev said following the trilateral talks in Moscow on Monday.
