President Ilham Aliyev expressed his gratitude to the President of the Republic of Seychelles for his just position on peaceful settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

The head of state said that as a result of gross violation by Armenia of international legal norms 20% of Azerbaijan`s lands have been under occupation. President Ilham Aliyev noted with regret the fact that although more than 20 years passed since the UN Security Council adopted four resolutions demanding an unconditional withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces from Azerbaijan`s occupied lands these resolutions have not yet been implemented.
