Mammadyarov spoke of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno Karabakh, describing it as Azerbaijan's major problem, and saying the dispute poses a serious threat to the entire region.

He said Armenia, which is a member of the Council of Europe, occupied twenty percent of Azerbaijan's territory forcing about million of Azerbaijanis to flee their homelands.

"The international community should warn Armenia that a country, which tries to become a part of Europe, should refrain from such acts and withdraw its forces from Azerbaijan," the Azeri Minister noted.

Elmar Mammadyarov also spoke of Azerbaijan's integration into European and Euroatlantic structures.
