Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said he does not intend to discuss the Karabakh issue with any international center.

"The Armenian residents of the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan are our citizens", he said, speaking at the Azerbaijan National Urban Forum in Aghdam.

He added that "Baku will not discuss with any international center how to arrange their (Karabakh Armenians) life," because "the whole world recognizes Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory."
