Aliyev makes belligerent statements: If the world can’t stop a mad dictator, we will

“If the international community cannot stop the mad dictator of Armenia, it will.” Azerbaijan will stop them, show them their place and restore their territorial integrity, “Aliyev said during a meeting with the new Pakistani ambassador in Baku.

According to the Azerbaijani leader, the international community is too tolerant of Armenian policy in Nagorno-Karabakh, and the mediator countries of the OSCE Minsk Group (Russia, France, USA), which have a negotiating mandate, do not they can achieve concrete results for many years.

“Armenia does not heed their statements. The leaders of the OSCE Minsk Group presidencies have repeatedly argued that the status quo is unacceptable.” Armenia does not respond to these statements and therefore shows a lack of respect for these three countries, “said the President of Azerbaijan.

“There are four UN resolutions calling for the immediate withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.” Armenia has not responded to these resolutions for some 30 years, and its defense minister says Armenia will launch a new war against Azerbaijan for new territories, “he added.

Mr. Aliyev reiterated that the Armenian Prime Minister’s proposals to include representatives of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic in the negotiations were unacceptable to Azerbaijan.

“He says that Azerbaijan needs to negotiate with the puppet Nagorno-Karabakh regime, which is an attempt to change the approved format of negotiations. An illegal settlement of Armenians from Lebanon is taking place in the occupied lands, and they are taking carry out military exercises and inaugurations in our occupied lands. We do not intend to tolerate that, “the Azerbaijani leader emphasized.

During the meeting with the Pakistani diplomat, Aliyev also thanked Islamabad for supporting Baku on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue.

“We are grateful to Pakistan for its continued support to Azerbaijan in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh,” Aliyev said.

Baku announced on Sunday that a “counter-offensive operation” had been launched along the front line in response to alleged provocations by Armenian forces. Yerevan, for its part, said that Azerbaijan had attacked the unrecognized republic of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh have declared a state of war and military mobilization. Azerbaijan has introduced a military regime and a curfew in major cities.

Fierce fighting is currently taking place in the disputed region; the armies of both countries suffered losses.

Nagorno-Karabakh was opened from Azerbaijan in 1994 by more than 30,000 Armenian-backed separatists. a potentially deadly war that ended in an indefinite ceasefire.

The area is now governed by an Armenian-backed separatist government that has declared its independence and has not been recognized by any state.

Negotiations to resolve one of the biggest conflicts that arose during the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 have largely stalled since the 1994 ceasefire agreement.

France, Russia, and the United States mediated peace efforts like the so-called Minsk Group, but previous major efforts for a peace deal failed in 2010.
