“We believe that in the present world there are more powerful tools for solving conflicts than military ones,” said the top official.
Azerbaijan avoids aligning itself explicitly either with the west or with Russia in its foreign policy, but it joined western countries at the UN last year in voting for a resolution that rejected Russia’s annexation of Crimea and supported Ukraine’s territorial integrity, according to Hasanov.
He said Azerbaijan was disappointed that western governments had not taken an equally firm stand against Armenia’s seizure, in a war in the early 1990s, of Nagorno-Karabakh and seven other districts located in Azerbaijan.
