YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 1, ARMENPRESS. Contrary to the claims of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, the norms and principles of the international law did not give Azerbaijan the right or permission to try to solve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict by force, especially when there was an internationally accepted negotiation format in the person of the OSCE Minsk Group, within the frames of which all sides, including Azerbaijan, have assumed a commitment to solve the issue exclusively peacefully and avoid use of force or the threat of force, Expert on Azerbaijani studies Taron Hovhannisyan told ARMENPRESS, commenting on the recent statements made by the Azerbaijani leader.
