"Azerbaijan as a country which suffered from violation of territorial integrity supports territorial integrity of all the countries, and our position on that is straightforward.

Of course, unity and territorial integrity of Syria is number one precondition for any kind of relationship, and not only legal unity and control of the boundaries but physical unity. The country must have a centralized system, or at least a system which operates and functions with respect to political institutions. We are strongly against any forms of separatism, whether it was in Karabakh or in Syria or in any other place of the world," Ilham Aliyev noted.
