Speaking to journalists on 12 March after a ceremony to mark the 13th anniversary of the forming of Azerbaijan\'s Interior Ministry troops, President Ilham Aliyev said Baku will not change its negotiating position with regard to resolving the Karabakh conflict, and he excluded any compromises by Azerbaijan in the course of the negotiating process. Aliyev said Azerbaijan\'s negotiating position has become much stronger as a result of unspecified political and diplomatic successes. He termed the recent ceasefire violations a \"provocation\" on the part of Armenia.The Central Asia-Caucasus Analyst is a biweekly publication of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute & Silk Road Studies Program, a Joint Transatlantic Research and Policy Center affiliated with the American Foreign Policy Council, Washington DC., and the Institute for Security and Development Policy, Stockholm.
