As for the Azerbaijani President’s statements concerning withdrawal of the Armenian troops from the so-called “occupied” territories, NKR has never been and will never be within Azerbaijan’s composition, Sharmazanov said in the Armenian parliament. “To achieve peace settlement of the Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijan should first of all withdraw its troops from the annexed territories of Shahumyan and Getashen, as well as create conditions for return of Armenian refugees,” he said.
