President Ilham Aliyev: Last year we saw that we were deceived

17:47 - 11.11.2020


November 11, Fineko/abc.az. We tried to resolve this issue peacefully.

For 17 years, as the head of the country, I’ve tried to resolve the issue peacefully, and this is the main reason for delaying this matter. International mediators have convinced us that this question can be resolved peacefully.

ABC.AZ reports that the above-mentioned statement was made by President, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces Ilham Aliyev at a meeting with wounded soldiers.

The head of state noted that over the past year we have seen that we are simply being deceived, and the peace process is almost paralyzed: "The new leadership of Armenia has practically destroyed the negotiation process with unacceptable, harmful steps and statements, and in recent months has not hidden this. Demonstrative steps were taken to show us and the world that the occupied lands will remain under occupation forever. They published a variety of maps. These maps defined the borders of the “Nagorno-Karabakh Republic", which included all the occupied lands. They changed the names of our historic cities and gave us new ugly names. They changed the names of all our villages. They wanted to erase our historical and cultural heritage."
