Azeri, Armenian leaders to discuss Nagorno-Karabakh in Moscow

In early July Aliyev said one issue is out of question for his country - the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh.

"Azerbaijan will not accept any decision that might envisage separation, independence of Nagorno-Karabakh either today or in ten or a hundred years," he said.

"Azerbaijan is ready to grant Nagorno-Karabakh the necessary autonomous status but only within the united Azerbaijani state," he added.

"In the past five years we agreed on many important issues that seemed hardly agreeable. However the principle of the negotiating process is such that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed," Aliyev said.

This week the president said "inspiring dynamic and certain results" have been achieved at talks with Armenia; Kazinform refers to Itar-Tass.
