Question: Mr. Ter-Petrosian, why is it difficult for you to officially recognize Azerbaijan`s territorial integrity according to the principles of the UN and OCSE Armenia is also a member of? As known, it is the very obstacle for a joint declaration of three leaders of the South Caucasus.  What is your opinion on Kocharyan`s statements on granting Nagorno-Karabakh independence, which means establishment of the second Armenian state?

Dear Secretary General, Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali!

Though Azerbaijan has been involved in the war by force and it has grave consequences, over 20 percent of its territory has been occupied and it has over million Azerbaijani internally displaced persons who have been banished from their native lands, it always supports the elimination of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict through political solutions.

Highly esteemed State Secretary of the United States Mr. Powell!

Esteemed co-chairpersons of the Minsk Group!

Esteemed participants of the meeting!

Esteemed representatives of mass media!
