President Ilham Aliyev has said there was no progress in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict last year, blaming Armenia and international mediators for the failure.
He was speaking on Saturday at an expanded cabinet meeting focusing on the results of the country’s social and economic growth in the past year.
Aliyev said Armenia "doesn't want peace" and reproached international mediators that their words about inadmissibility of the current status quo in the conflict remain "just words, lacking serious politics behind them.”
Aliyev said four resolutions on the Karabakh conflict adopted by the UN Security Council had remained unimplemented over the past 20 years.
Also, the Azeri president said documents like these tackling other international problems often come into force without delay.
"It is injustice and a policy of double standards,” he said. "There seem to be such forces which are interested in the conflict to be frozen or half-frozen so that it could be used as a tool to pressure Azerbaijan.”
In 2015 Azerbaijan will beef up its military potential, Aliyev said.
