“We highly appreciate the constant support of the NAM countries to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan in line with international law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions,” Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said speaking at the Mid-term Ministerial Conference of the Non-Aligned Movement, Report informs, citing AzerTag.

“In the Final Document of the Baku Summit, NAM countries underlined the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force, reaffirmed that no State shall recognize as lawful the situation resulting from the occupation of the territories of Azerbaijan.

“In July 2020, the NAM adopted a communique on the military provocation of the Armenian armed forces at the state border. Furthermore, during the Patriotic War, at the online Ministerial Meeting in October 2020, the Special Declaration was adopted. In these documents the NAM countries once again supported the just position of Azerbaijan and expressed their solidarity with Azerbaijan in the efforts aimed at restoration of its territorial integrity.

“Here, I would like to highlight one specific development happened during the Patriotic War. There have been attempts by some members of the UN Security Council to adopt a one-sided statement which would neglect the UN Security Council resolutions of 1993. However, in the Security Council discussions, seven NAM countries, in support of Azerbaijan’s position, insisted to insert the reference to the abovementioned Security Council resolutions to the negotiated text.

“Such resolute stance by those NAM countries demonstrated their commitment to the “Bandung principles” and the Movement’s values. We perceived their position as a historic gesture of friendship in our bilateral relations,” the head of state noted.
