Dennis Sammut: negotiated solution for Karabakh conflict offers good prospect for the region
"The Moscow declaration and think that it forms a good basis on which future action for the resolution of the conflict can be based," said the Chair of the Executive Steering Committee of the Consortium Initiative.

What Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev was telling RAI TV strikes as being very much the same as he has been saying for some time, Mr. Dennis Sammut, the Chair of the Executive Steering Committee of the Consortium Initiative, said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

"Our position is that a peaceful negotiated solution for the Karabakh conflict is the only solution that offers a good prospect for the region. Indeed this is the essence of the Moscow declaration signed by the Presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia. That is why we highly appreciate this declaration and think that it forms a good basis on which future action for the resolution of the conflict can be based," he said.

In an interview with RAI International Italian language channel on November 26, Ilham Aliyev stated that the declaration "doesn't contain a provision reading that Azerbaijan obliges to refrain from a military resolution of the conflict and therefore, any kind of measures, including use of force and admissible."
